that is strange, pops. It's too bad that some kids have to miss out on getting to swim at your school, but they don't give you trouble for sitting out due to religion, do they? I would think they should be respectful of that choice.

My high school didn't have a pool, so we didn't do any swimming. There was a swim team, but they swam at the local Y. I think it would be a pain to have to get my hair wet and refix it at school. i know I know. I'm a girlie girl. lol
