Coaching swimmers in India would have been way more fun and exciting had I not gotten Delhi Belly!.... but I still had a GREAT time and even got to sit in a Tuk-Tuk!!!!
The final swim meet of the season Roanne, Benedetta and I took 24 of our top swimmers to Delhi, India. We had a great couple of nights hanging out in a "fancy" hotel as the kids spent time with host families. Our long days were spent pool side, cheering the kids on, taking times, and heaps of photos. They won a ton of medals and awards. They did a great job competing at MESAC. ( Middle East South Asian Conference) It was the first time we even had our school mascot- the Falcon, travel with the team, and pumping up the crowd. The host school was very nice, high secuirty- (more than ASD), and even monkeys strolled through the campus. We enjoyed a fabulous meal with all the swim parents and experienced the crazy taxi ride home- with changing a flat tire on the side of the highway. When the meet days would come to an end we were off to the markets, enjoying the shops and food vendors. Even though I stayed far from these vendors, I somehow managed to get a lovely little amoeba living in my stomach.... not fun. The rest of the trip and for three weeks afterwards I was digustingly sick. If you are ever in Delhi- Aviod the ice cubes at hotels as well!!
