Unfair Ruling at a Swim Meet
Last Saturday, you took part in an adult swim meet in Kelowna.

You were disqualified from your best event, while other swimmers who did the same thing were not.
Write an email to the organizers of the swim meet in about 150-200 words. Your email should do the following things:
Describe what happened at the swim meet.
Explain how this affected you.
