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 entertain the thought of painting your nails or getting a mani/pedi but you realize the very next morning it will be stripped away in the pool. You try to think of a time to do it and realize there are never enough days in a row away from the pool to make the polish last.
Eventually you totally give up the idea of looking girly and don't entertain the concept unless it's a mani/pedi without polish...mostly because the massage feels good on your poor extremeties. It's amazing how many muscles are used in your hands during a good swim!
