[Sportsandrec] adap tap system

[Lori]

Mike, I participated in the development and definitely liked having more of 
the shorter rods placed through out the lane. Of course it was my goal to 
learn how to swim straighter, but having the additional rods made it so easy 
to make micro adjustments which kept me out of the ropes and then I could 
focus on technique, etc. Some folks have talked about the fasteners popping 
off the lanes and floating away and I believe some people have bungied them 
to the lane so they don't float off. Despite some challenges with issues 
like that, I found it to be definitely worth it for me and my goals. Is it 
the solution for everyone, perhaps not, but it does have value and sure 
beats having to rely on a human tapper or deal with backing off at the end 
to eliminate hitting the wall too hard. It possibly makes swimming one of 
the easiest sports for blind people to train in.
