“Winning…It’s a Wasp Thing”
“Swim 2 Win”
“Born 2 Swim…Coached 2 Win”
“Dare 2 Dream”

The decision of the trustees will be final. Send your votes/suggestions to Jon Pardoe (jonpardoe@hotmail.co.uk) by no later than 31st December 2006.

Previsous Wasps Quizzes
The Adidas swimsuit worn by world-record holder Ian Thorpe evolved out of Alpine Ski-ing. The concept of the suit evolved around muscle compression…a suit so tight it stiffens the body so that it penetrates water like a dart and limits muscle oscillation, so that the on-set of fatigue is delayed. Each Adidas suit is used for just one competition race – following which it needs to be cut off his body. Because so few of these suits are actually made to this specification the cost of Adidas providing each suit is according to Ian Thorpe how many Australian dollars? (NB: An Australian Dollar is approximately 42 pence).
The winner of this quiz will be a club member who e-mails the closest answer by 31st May 2006. The winner will receive a £10 gift token to spend at the club’s shop.
