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 are a swimmer when...
you tape pictures of swimmers to your computer at work and talk about them like you really personally know them.
you talk about swimming so much at work that people start making swimming motions everytime they see you.
you work third shift and swim before work, get off work and swim again, then just give up sleep altogether and swim early that afternoon. (I've done that many a friday...i work sun. thru thur.)
Your hair has a brighter golden shine than any of your wife's jewlry.

p.s. I hope this isn't a rip off of someone else's earlier posting?......There are so many postings under this thread that it is impossible to know??

One of the aerobic ladies told me that she had to "go straight to the beauty parlor" if her hair got wet.
I would shave my head and get a wig before I would be such a slave to my hair. Admittedly their hair does look better than my overly chlorinated tresses, but what a price to pay.

I just gopt in trouble because I added too much bleach and ruined the "good towels" that only company can use.
There are two ladies, who I've known my entire life becasue I went to the same church (one was even my fourth grade sunday school teacher) complain everyday that I splash them. One told me that when I was 5 yrs old, she knew that I was an evil, mean child. I'm so glad I proved her right.
