QUOTE: "The more restrictive they can make a contest's [rules], the less [the judges] have to think or know about what you're accomplishing in the water, thus making an easier job at our expense. What do these people care about your subtle split-second maneuvers, years of perfecting your talents?" -Miki Dora
