World's Worst Website

WWW isn't 'just' a TLA for dub, dub, dub. This has got to be the World's Worst Website! And it's a swimming site!


I know there are some really, really bad ones around but, honestly, have you ever seen anything like it?

Up till today I would have given the WWW accolade to one of these four which all have one thing in common; me:

Central Lancashire Swimming & Waterpolo Association
'Central Lancashire' is defined in their rules as 'inside a 20-mile radius of Rochdale Town Hall.' Neat, eh? So I raced league dual meets almost every week in that area. There's a link to a map of the 20-mile radius on the site but it's broken. Shame, eh?

Bolton and District Swimming & Waterpolo Association
Bolton is the next bigish town up the valley from Rochdale and they also have an Association, probably defined as within x-miles radius of Bolton Town Hall. As Rochdale is included in the x-mile radius we also raced in this league every week.

Manchester and District Swimming & Waterpolo Association
And, likewise with Manchester Town Hall! And, again I raced this league almost every week.






Lancashire County Swimming & Waterpolo Association
At last, something slightly different. Lancashire County is a bit like LMR in Vancouver. They didn't have weekly leagues but they did have annual championships. Lots of racing going on. I'm sure there was some training thrown in there at times as well.

... and another thing
Don't you just hate sites that ask you to enter after you've arrived at the home page? Enter? That's why I visited!!

... just one more...
This new definition of 'winning' from the British Swimming website:

Britain’s 4x100m men’s Freestyle relay team got the European Junior Championship squad off to a winning start when they took silver on the first day of competition in Antwerp.
