It was a scorcher today in Melbourne, so when the kids arrived home from school we ventured to the local swimming pool. It is part of the pool scene now that lanes are marked off for lap swimmers, and this pool was no different. Lanes display a sign for "Fast" "Medium" or "Slow" lap swimmers.
It was quite amusing then to watch our eldest son having sprint races up the pool with another young boy in the slow lane, while the swimmer in the medium lane out-paced the one in the fast lane.
Is there something wrong with the signs, or our perspective of ourselves?
