Nick,
I'd never be spotted - I have no hair.? Going back and looking at our junior year yearbook (I lost my senior yearbook, or sold it on ebay for very little money) and noticed that there were no lane lines and no "real" starting blocks.? No wonder we were so slow.

Bob,
I am impressed. One day the life guard came over to my lane and was
concerned if I was OK. She saw all the gray hair.
