New Ideas Needed and Pool Tales

It has almost been a month since I started promoting the revival of the Blue Box Cult (Well not so much promoting), but I don't think I have gathered a following at all despite some positive responses from some of you. I need feedback as to what is stopping you guys from doing so. I read someone's blog about his niece being 16th fastest swimmer in her country (or something like that). IMO, that is quite an achievement. Back in my teen days, I used to spend much of my days in the waters. I even tried to qualify for membership into an exclusive swimming club but I did not make the requirements. If I had gone in, I would have been tutored by my country's best coaches. I have heard stories about the place. One story I'll always remember was the one where the a coach told his students (all boys) to put on various swimming gears including fins, caps, paddles, etc. And then they were told to swim one 50m lap. They all dived in and swam at top speed. A girl suddenly appeared and swam in after them. She swam right past them, reached the end, got out and left. The boys were shocked and embarrassed, and the coach scolded them for losing to a girl. Turned out the girl was one of a few to be selected to represent our country in the Olympics. But still it was quite a humble lesson for the boys. That story taught us not to be too cocky.
