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?

I decided I'd bump this thread 'cause it sounded fun when I read it.
Okay...
You know you're a swimmer when...
1. You get angry for not finding any swimming articles in the sports section of your local Newspaper. (Arrgh, Football always seems to have more articles than I'd like!!)
2. You sleep with your speedo on for the next morning's meet!
3. You tell your barber, "I'd like it short, REAL short!"
4. You find yourself doing breaststroke arm motions at work when you're all alone. (Happens to me all the time)
5. You get angry with the TV weather man for forcasting electrical storms in your area.
6. Paying for your USMS membership is more important than paying bills.
7. You have a favorite lane in the pool (mine's always and will be Lane 5, no matter where I go swim. YAY LANE 5!!!)
8. The Olympic Swimming Events on TV have more meaning to you than the Superbowl.
9. (Applies to the one above) You invite all your friends or teammates to your house to watch the Olympic Swimming Events on TV and have an Olympic Swim Party!
10. Lycra becomes a fashion statement and body shavings become frequent.
