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 go on honeymoon to Mexico and pack swim kit. Turn up at hotel with no pool but a large lagoon. Oh look - people swimming laps across the lagoon (about 75m) look like serious swimmers - think I'll join in. Do so for first week of honeymoon (turns out they were the Hungarian triathlon squad!), despite mutterings of diapproval from hte wife. Continue to do so for second week, in spite of being told that (and seeing) crocodiles in the lagoon!
You have met David Wilkie and seen him swimming 50m breastroke underwater.
