I STUMBLED ACROSS THIS BECAUSE HER NAME, A POOL IN ANOTHER NEIGHBORHOOD, INTRIGUED ME.
"At 18, a multiple World record holder: no money, no ISL, no circuit, no federation guidance. Once more, no-one to turn to. In time, it would also mean that she avoided ever having had to work with a coach who would come to be accused of sexually abusing swimmers. On Bergen, Woodhead says: 'I was so spooked when that all came out. I just couldn’t believe it. I was obviously not his type because I never got that vibe from him.' She empathises with the victims who, like her for wholly other reasons, had no place to turn to back them, no-one to talk to. Some survivors even heard from police a recommendation of ‘best go home and not make this a further embarrassment for you and your family’. Some victims of the 1970s have talked of a time when there was no hug to be had, no basic comfort of an ‘are you ok’? It was all too shocking, too scandalous, the imperative to bind the wound so that none may see. Sippy Woodhead gets that: 'That was sort of like me and the boycott as far as who you could talk to. There just was no-one to talk to. After the boycott was announced, no-one came to hug me. My mom threw the cat in my room and shut the door.' Psychology 1980-style? 'Yeah, right – have an animal!' Says Woodhead."
