We did, however, have quite the time at the meet.
Why?
Here's why:
Some of you might recognize a strong family resemblance between Santa and the PP. And don't you like Santa's "boots"?
Sad for Santa, though, it was about 80 degrees and 100% humidity inside the natatorium, which made for a very sweaty Santa. He was festive, though, giving away hugs, handshakes, and candy canes. He had some funny things in his sack, too. He'd say to a kid at the meet, "Would you like a treat?" to which they would respond, "Yes!" and then he'd pull a milkbone out of his sack. "No!" they would cry, and then he'd give them a candy cane.
A number of folks noticed that this was the skinniest Santa they had ever seen. When they noted that to the head age group coach, he would reply, "Well, he works out."
Santa posed for many pictures, with kids, with parents, with meet officials, with coaches--even with all the little kids on our team. All the kids in the photo were wearing their blue swimsuits and green caps, and there in the front was Santa. I asked our coach afterwards, "Did the new kid in the red outfit get any best times?"
"In every event," he answered.

Tag, you're it.
Did Mrs. Claus wear a hot red teddy? It would have suited the heat and humidity inside the pool.
Yeah, RIGHT.
Aww, I hoped we could see Santa in his shorts!!!!
