tapering

Something that makes swimmers happy :D

Well, all athletes really...

It's working out really hard for a few days and then doing barely anything in a short amount of time. (usually right before a big game or meet)

When we were tapering, we only did 2500 instead of 7000 =)

tapering

A term that can be used when referring to reducing the dose, when using a drug.

Tapering can help an addict when trying to quit a drug. Splitting a pill, snorting less, and even injecting less.

Swim: Are you off them xans yet?
Swim 2: Nah, but I'm tapering my Xanax bar because I don't want to get seizures.

taper

A device used to stretch piercings. It is small on one end and gradually increases in size until it reaches the proper gauge.

When going from a 4G to a 2G, I used an acrylic taper and some lubricating oil.
