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?

You younger Masters could do 200's or more on a challenging
interval! Listening Sonic? :0) arf arf
Problem now is that Old Dog can't remember now how the formula works. :D
Thanks, Sonic for the good wishes. And I was in the pool last night. BTW, just remember what you have to look forward to when you are twice your age. :rolleyes:
Thanks, Swimjenn, for the song. My hair care person tell me that she knows me by the chlorine odor. I tell her it's perfume, called Eau d' Swim.
