Swimming conundrum

While covering the scintillating Wenatchee-Eastmont swim meet on Tuesday night, I struggled with identifying which swimmer was which, as everyone looks alike with a swim cap on. I asked Eastmont head coach April Cheadle if she’d ever considered putting numbers or names on the caps to identify people. I know it would help me, and more than one parent I spoke to said they had a hard time picking out their own kids. As always, it comes down to money. April said that especially for the girls, who tend to have more hair, the swim caps get worn out in a hurry.”We go through a lot of caps, and it would cost too much to specially make each one with a name or number on it. If a local business wanted to sponsor it, we’d love to do it, but I don’t think it’ll happen,” she said.Alas.
