I raked my back and smacked the back of my head on a diving board because my feet slipped off the end as I bounced down on it. Never dived again after that.
It happened at Theodore Wirth Pool during the Mpls Aquatennial, so I had an audience. At the time I was more embarrassed about missing the dive so terribly than anything else. I wasn't supposed to enter the water butt first. :eek:
I was pretty messed up. I ended up needing stitches, and a scar that my obstetrician thought was an episiotomy scar when I went in for my check up during my first pregnancy.
It wasn't an inward dive. My schnoz smashed my knee while in a tuck as I hit the water at full force and spin. I was knocked out for a brief moment as well. All while I screamed out for my mom to watch me try this new dive I learned.
I did a triple twice earlier in the day with claps from around the pool. :cool:
I was also famous for an inward 'aye' dive where you would moon the pool during a dive. - Which way are you facing as you go down during an inward? :sheepish: :sheepish: :sheepish:
on an inward you go to the end of the board with your back towards the water, and bend towards the board, so assuming there are no twists, you enter the water facing away from the board. its not nearly as dangerous as a reverse or a back, since those are blind dives.
Mooning would have gotten me kicked out for the rest of the day and given a warning not to do it again. Sunning was automatically 2 days in addition to the current day.
And we went daily as we had seasonal passes :confused:
Plus the water must have been cold that day given the comments I received afterwards :sheepish: :wink:

They have several rooms that don't require a minimum purchase. The enclosed porch is very nice. Not sure what the Window Room is, but sounds nice and only $100 rental.
George's, formerly Awada's, has a nice banquet room. We've had a couple of groom's dinners there. With enough notice, they will work with you on a menu I think. It's a basement room with a bar and buffet set up.
Awada's is on Plato between 52 and Robert St. Oops! I mean George's. Hard to get used to calling it that. Right around the corner from Joseph's. I think George and the Joseph's are related.
heh
They had to close and drain the entire pool because of all the blood that spewed from me.
Sorry, dude. that's funny.
And as long as we're sharing here. I lost my virginity when a dive went went wrong from a 10 meter platform. :ooh:
I have a cousin that was born with a cleft pallet.
I can't let that pass.
Here's my best:
Did you cuddle together afterwards?!?
Hi-o!
Sorry. I've been sick, so the wife's been sleeping in the basement.
don't know if my dr. was a moron OR we had poor health insurance.
I'm just glad I'm not apart of that culture in Africa where they circumcise the woman!

four-of-a-joe!
It started off innocently enough, but ended up getting me kicked out for two days upon entering the water. :sheepish:
but I thought it was really hard to light farts when soaking wet from the pool.
