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 Know You're A Swimmer When:
1. Your parents bought you a car when you turned 16 not to be nice but because they were tired of getting up at 4 AM to take you to practice, and then having to leave work early to take you again at 4 PM.
2. You had the same hairstyle for your whole swimming career - SHORT.
3. When friends asked what salon you tanned at, you laughed at them.
4. You couldn't wait to get out of class and get to practice EARLY to hang out with your friends before dryland.
5. For girls, your stomach still doesn't tan as well as the rest of your body.
6. You've been horribly devasted from a terrible loss, and know the glory and pride that comes from a win.
