Review: The echoing on the pool deck added to the resonating and stirring effect of sick swimmers' voices. The technique of the swimming was elegant, if not synchronized (though one hears that OTAC has synchronized productions as well). This once-a-year experience is a glorious addition to any Christmas tradition.

Sounds interesting. Wish I could've been there!
that's pretty much awesome. it feels like october.
Swimmers are weird. You guys are always singing! Not even band geeks sing as much as you guys.
We do not always sing! We sing for birthdays and Christmas. We occasionally sing along with the music we play during practice, but most of the time we're too out of breath. We sometimes sing in the showers and sauna, but not too frequently. We know how much the front desk people hate it when we sing; we sing loud enough for them to hear us out there and beyond and we scare people off.
Hey, Mavis, I heard about Abercrombie. Not as good as the ladie's tee while golfing, though... Don't know if you know about that one.
Wait, what about Abercrombie? I was complaining about it today, and I have a funny story about it from Friday involving my older brother, but I don't know why you would have heard about those...
