Just thought I would start a thread which didn't have deep philosophical overtones so that we all can have fun with the new forum software. Based upon personal experience, I will start a list of “You know you are a swimmer when …” with the following:
You know you are a swimmer when you leave work in the rain and you can smell the chlorine coming off of your hair.
Anyone care to add to the list?

your wife asks you at the supper table, "do you mean to be wearing your swimming goggles?"
And hey Leo, looking at your moniker what I see and hear, even through the ringing in my ears, is EEElete. How long has it been since the discussion was about elite swimmers? 'Specially since in some parts of the world, like the vicinity of Romania, the letter j, at least in its capital form, seems to be a substitute for the letter i, and is pronounced EEE. Please forgive me.

hey, everybody
I messed up my previous post twice, first by introducing the comparative form of swimmer (swimmier, for cryin' out loud),and second, by omitting 'around your neck'.
So, If ya'll'l let me...when your wife asks at the supper table, "how's come you're wearing your swimming goggles around your neck?"

You know you are a swimmer when:
you cannot swim because of other people's priorities.
You know you're a swimmer when you plan your vacations around swim meets. Or better yet, when you expect your family to come along with you to a swim meet AS their vacation!

You know you're a swimmer when.....
at our age :D we are not afraid of, or embarrassed by, wearing racing suits or speedos.
(maybe..... because swimmers in general are in pretty good shape????)
You know you're a swimmer when..... your wife complains because you borrowed her razor to shave your legs
You know you're a swimmer when..... you think a drag suit is a baggy swim suit instead of a man in fishnet stockings and stiletto heels.
