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'm a school psychologist. Several years ago I walk into the office of a school I serve and there, volunteering to be a mentor, is a male friend who I informally race from time to time (and can beat--LOL, does that say something about his swimming?). The pool is the only place in the community I had ever seen him. I walk up to him, say hello and he responds with a blank stare because he is filling out papers/thinking about something else. I quip, "What's the matter, don't recognize me with my clothes on?" Well, his face turns beet red and the secretary, bookkeeper, lead teacher and principal who were also in the office at the time have to pick their chins up off the floor! He's promised me he will get me back some day!
