Today, I was at a swim meet. I was on a relay team and I was the anchor. My team was in 1st. I was ready to dive in when I saw my tampon string was hanging out of my suit. I freaked, slid off the block, and fell on top of the guy before me and gave him a concussion. We got DQed for a false start FML

#1 I'm glad your life goal is now complete. OP: You deserve it. Sorry, but if you're going to put yourself in any kind of high pressure situation with others counting on you like that, you gotta get over little things like tampon strings.

LOL. #1 your a jerk. anyway, that sucks, but if your a girl, how did you fall on top of a guy? girls and guys dont swim relays together. anyway its not like you could do anything about it right before you dove off, so it woulda just been easier to swim the whole thing and tuck it back in when you finished and were still in the water. its not that big of a deal i mean everyone knows girls have to wear tampons when they swim.

Could be a mixed relay in a summer league team or something, in which case it's not really that serious considering summer league doesn't count for much.

Actually, yeah i'm a swimmer, and there are mixed relays. :)

Actually, I'm a swimmer and there aren't mixed relays. In summer league we ever mixed, nor in just high school swim team.

It depends on the league you are in. In some there are and in some there are not. In one swim league I swim in it is mixed, but on my highschool one it is not

it's just a freaking tampon string, big deal. What would you rather have; first place medal or everyone on your team hating you because you lost them the race?

auderey i am amazing in every way shape and form. You on the other hand..

YDI... unless you're a guy who was surprised by a tampon string mysteriously protruding from your speedo. As #4 mentioned, co-ed relays don't exist in competitive swimming TMK.

They don't through USA Swimming, but there are summer leagues that I know of that defintly have

awww sorry that happened. lol #7 but i dont think the OP deserved it. periods are the worst without having to worry about the string.

this is why they should make some kind of " swimming tampon " . FYL =)
