This is my memorable Beach Club photo. I am a member of the Stormalong Bay Synchronized Pool Tube team. One day on our way to practice in the hot tub we ambushed a rather famous Greeter in the lobby of the Beach Club. She was kind enough to take a photo with us before we marched in perfect time to the pool to practice our routine.
That year at the Olympics we barely missed out on a medal because the Latvian team was such a bunch of whiners and reported us to the judges saying our old lady bathing costumes were too revealing. We also were a little drunk and we were having trouble staying in the tubes. Then there was the unfortunate incident with the pool noodle and a rogue bumble bee. I tried to tell the bee to get it's own Sunkin' Treasure but it kept trying to drink mine and I had to go all Muhammad Ali on it's bass. Bass = Bee Aass.
Anyway it was a international kerfuffle. The Latvians themselves were later disqualified when lab tests detected abnormally high levels of Premarin in a number of their samples. The International Olympic Committee is still waiting for them to return their medals but the Latvian team members say they can't remember where they put them.
As you can see in the picture, we were the first Synchronized Pool Tube Team to introduce Bubble wands into our routine. Unfortunately we quickly discovered that it was way too hard to hold a drink and blow bubbles at the same time, so the bubble wands were scrapped. Those hacks on the Latvian team tried to steal our bubble wand idea but they quickly discovered the same problem.
So that's my memorable Beach Club Picture.
