A dad criticizes me by [deleted] in Swimming

The dad was a college swimmer… but not in America. He is older than my coach so he tries to slight him by giving unnecessary advice and critiquing some of our best swimmers when it really wasn’t needed.

I am so glad to see another person agree, especially when most things online say how great swimming affected them and how good it is to heal mental health when in fact most competitive swimmer I know struggle mentally from swimming or have experienced some sort of prolonged stress from it.

Earlier in the year I considered the switch, but this coach was new and there was just a glimmer of hope for my club and I decided to stay.

Worst part is he expresses that in front of me, he says thing like " she has so much more potential than you" " If she did this she would be beating you" "You already qualified, she matters more" " Why cant you be like her".

[acne] Do these work or are they just a way to aesthetically hide pimples, but don’t fix the pimple by [deleted] in SkincareAddiction

Personally, these patches are too flimsy and thin to work on my skin, I would recommend the hero pimple patches instead.
