Pretty much.

I am not sure we had swimming. But that is ok. I wasn't any good at any of those three.
Never swam against Riverside. Our MKE area opponents were Nicolet & Whitefish Bay.
Is that a Letterman's sweater?
All the rumors you've heard about wrestling were true. Workouts/practices were brutal. Then spend another hour or so afterword trying to sweat more weight off.
After a few kids died in HS wrestling a while back they changed the weigh in rules. I don't know what they are now but they are supposed to prevent the extreme weight loss (which really included water loss/dehydration) strategies many practiced.
I know at least here they weigh in within the first two weeks of practice and can't lose more than a certain % of their body weight based on % of body fat. They also have safeguards prohibiting using sweat boxes, etc. to lose water weight before initial certification.

Oh yeah baby. Took me months to save the $70. The custom backstroke patch set me back another $20. We were in the Nicolet/Bay Sectional for States....all I remember is in the 100 yd back races against their guys, they would be out of the pool toweling off by the time I finished.
Kudos on getting the pants to match the trim on the sweater.
Thanks.
They were some pretty sweet rust colored disco pants.

My vertical limits and my aversion to hot smelly groin grabbing led me to the captaincy of the swim team.
I would have made the same decision except, you know? I'm black.
Something tells me Rashan Gary is going to be very, very special playing for the Packers.... Gary calling Za'Darius on their off day to pick his brain on pass rush moves.... Stellar.
This Gary Rashan...different breed of cat me thinks.
But I thought he didn't have 100% effort all the time! Wasn't that the knock on him? Or is this a different Rashan Gary?

We did not have swimming where I went to school for two reasons: 1) We did not have a pool and 2) no one wanted to chisel the pool shape out of the ice, on the lake, in the winter time. It took a long time to remove the ice and even longer to put the lane lines on the bottom of the lake. The trainers were constantly skimming ice off the surface before the matches and it took too much time to do so. We did not have wrestling either, pretty much for the same reasons. The guys who wanted to wrestle complained of "Ice Cube ears" so, that was that. We did have Basketball but we sucked at that. A lot of kids signed up for it, though, just because it was indoors.
We had a pool, but it was on the third floor of our two-story school and only open to freshmen the first week of school. 
Seriously, I didn't learn to swim until I took a class in college. First day, the teacher says to jump off the end of the diving board feet first and "just let yourself float up to the surface." I was standing on the bottom of the pool running out of air when I decided I better push off and try to the top. I still hate swimming...
Excuses, excuses, excuses.
Milwaukee Riverside did not have a pool either. We were allowed to skip 8th hour and we took the city bus to 12th and Center to the Public Natatorium for practice in a 20-yard pool. Nothing like waiting for the bus (at 12th and Center, mind you) with wet hair in February.
Sometimes we'd milk cows on the bus.
Better?
You want a grundy, Timmy?
Our bus had fiberglass seats and we often had to shovel it out of drifts...

Same here. We lived way out in the boonies and my bus would always get stuck at the turn around on our driveway. So we could make it to school in time the superintendant of the schools would drive out the short bus to pick us up. True story.

My grandfather went to school with MC Escher.
For Grandpa, the walk really was uphill both ways.
WTF does any of this "swimming" bullsh!t have to do with Gary Rashan?!?!?
You can't swim, eh?
Envy.
But you might be dyslexic.
By the way, what was Gary's 200m freestyle time?

I suppose that is why we park on drive ways, and drive on parkways.
