The e-mail was brief.
Jackson, thank you for registering for the 2022 masters national swim meet. We have 329 entrants, less than in 2019 but it will still be a competitive meet. We are looking forward to the return of competition, and will update you with event details when available.
I read the email again surprised at the low number of participants. There were twice as many swimmers in 2019.
2020 was canceled due to Covid and 2021 was not even planned.
In 2019 we ( the local masters swim team ) had 40 swimmers at the national meet, this year we will only have 24.
My name is Jackson but everyone calls me Jack. I've been part of this team for 12 years, but 2019 was the first time I went to the national meet. Actually, it was my first swim meet since college, which was in the 1970's.
I hadn't planned on going in 2019, my competitive swimming days were over.
But my friends persuaded me to join them as it would be a 4 day guys get away without spouses. Each day the swim events concluded around 2:00. The afternoons were free and the evenings were filled with social gatherings.
It's fair to say the evening parties were the reason many came to the meet.
The participants came from all over the country. Friendly competition during the day and partying at night. The last night promised to be the best party with live music and plenty of food and drinks.
But that flopped.
Many competitors headed home right after the meet ended. The food was sparse and the DJ's music was limited. By 9:30 plans were being made to contact Uber and check out the bars downtown.
I decided to call it a night and stay at the hotel. I'm in my 60's, most of my swimming friends are 15 or more years younger and wanted to check out the town.
I shared the elevator back to my room with 3 ladies from our team. They are close friends and come to this meet yearly without their husbands. They invited me back to their room to play cards or a board game they brought with them. I've never liked card games or board games so I declined their offer. But they insisted. The more I resisted the more they persisted since they needed a fourth person for their game.
Finally, I gave in and agreed to join them.
These three ladies are all very athletic and attractive. I'm not sure of their ages, but the age groups they compete in puts them close to my age.
The oldest is Elaine, she likes to be called "Lainey ", she swims in the 70-74 age group.
Lainey is 5'8", thin, athletic build with shoulder length grey hair. Of the three she is the best swimmer. She competed in college before title 9 when women's swimming was considered a club sport. Her stroke is smooth and streamlined, moving gracefully through the water with little effort.
Joan is the second oldest competing in my age group 65-69. She likes to be called "Jo". She's 5'6" medium build and a fair swimmer. She is known as a elite runner having qualified for the Boston Marathon several times. In recent years she has been competing in triathlons. That's when she took up swimming with the masters. She lacks the smooth streamlined stroke but makes up for it by her constant hard effort.
Melanie is the youngest, competing in the 60-64 age group. She likes to be called "Mel".
Standing 5'10" she is the tallest and thinnest of the three. Her long legs are a treat to watch from under water as she swims past and her breasts are larger than expected on such a thin frame. When the water is cold her nipples stand firm and poke through her swimsuit. Impossible for me not to stare.
She doesn't have a sports background but has really taken to masters swimming. She is at every practice, continually does stroke drills to improve in all 4 strokes. She likes to joke around at practice and has been known to break out in song between sets.
As a group the 3 are close friends, always seen together joking and poking fun at one another. They will give disapproving looks if you call them by their given name. They are Lainey, Jo and Mel period.
I enjoy swimming with their group, they enjoy making it fun. Since I've known them I've been the focus of their light hearted ribbing.
I'm 65, 6'2" and have always stayed active and fit. I have the most extensive swimming background on the team being an All-American in college. These days I prefer to cruise through the practices enjoying the love I have for swimming and the camaraderie with the team. Everyone would describe me as quiet and shy, at least until I get to know you. That makes me an easy target for teasing by these ladies. I can't hide my crimson face when the 3 of them embarrass me. I take their joking in stride, never offended and enjoy their attention.
When we left the elevator I promised to join them after a quick stop at my room. I took a few minutes to change and call my wife with an update on the days events.
Twenty minutes later I was knocking at their door. Hearing their laughter I entered the room. They were sitting on the floor around a square game board. In the middle was a bottle of bourbon with 1/4 already gone. I sat between Lainey and Jo, Mel sat across from me.
The board had 4 stacks of colored cards: vanilla, pink, red and black. Small circles on the board followed a winding path matching the colors of the cards. The path started with vanilla and moved to pink, red and lastly black. Each circle had instructions.
One die was placed on the board with 4 plastic tokens of different colors, one for each player.
"What game is this?"
Mel answered, "It's a social game, a get to know your friends better game."
"Ok, what are the rules? How do you play? How do you win or lose?
All three laughed, "There are no losers, just follow directions and have fun."quipped Mel.
By their laughter and giggling I knew they were already buzzed from the bourbon.
Setting a shot glass in front of me, Lainey filled it,"You have some catching up to do."
I downed my first shot.
Jo rolled first and moved her token. The instructions on that spot was to take a vanilla card and drink a shot.
She filled her glass, downed the shot and picked up the top vanilla card.
She read " Share a sexual experience you had in public that no one knows about"
I was taken by surprise by the question, it was now obvious to me that the topic of this game was sexual. I felt uneasy, could this be a prank and I'm the target to embarrass!
With a deep breath Jo started, "I masturbated in the club's hot tub while others were in the tub."
" What! Who! When!" shrieked Lainey.
"After practice that really cold day when we were all in the hot tub getting warm." Nodding at me she added "Jack, you were there."
"I was, and missed it!"
Jo continued " The water was so hot and the jet of water was hitting me just right. It felt wonderful and when I slid my finger under my suit and rubbed I started shivering and climaxed."
The thought of being next to her as she climaxed was erotic and I felt my cock twitch.
" And I thought you were shivering from the cold." As I gave her a devilish smile.
Mel rolled next.
She moved her token, picked the top card, downed a shot and read " What sexual act do you wish you experienced more?"
Without hesitation she said," Oral, giving and receiving."
The three of us enthusiastically agreed, and laughed together.
Lainey rolled next.
Moving her token she picked the next card and read.
"Would you ever have an affair?"
She downed her shot, winked toward me and said, "Yes."
I swallowed hard as my face turned red and my cock twitched at the thought of fucking her.
I've played out that fantasy many times.
Did she know!
Or, is she teasing me.
The three of them laughed at my embarrassment.
I rolled the die, moved my token and picked a card.
I read, " What activity did you do that you'd describe as being an exhibitionist?"
I downed a full shot.
"I've played volleyball nude."
"What! More details, " all 3 chimed together.
" I spent a day at a nudist camp and the group played volleyball. Everyone was nude and very casual and at ease." "Is that considered exhibition if everyone is nude?"
