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...
You LOOK FORWARD to having birthdays, especially those that make your age end in 0 or 5!
********
Unless you're turning 40 like me and heading into that "dreaded" 40-44 age group! (I don't know what it is about these fast women in their 40's... ;)
I LOVE swimming on my birthday!
Here's mine: you know you're a swimmer when you make that hour or so at the pool everyday your #1 priority (i.e., I've been known to have an "appointment", requiring me to leave work for at least 90 minutes...!)
Oh yeah....after reading most of the threads in this forum, I came up with this one:
You know you're a (female) swimmer when instead of "fantasizing" about *** implants, your mind kind of wanders off (yeah, I know...kinda sick!) and wonders feet and hands implants are possible....

couldn't sum it up any better than shipley:

If a friend asks how a certain guy dresses and you reply, "I only see him without his clothes on" you might be a swimmer.
If you go from store to store desperately trying to find your favorite sports drink, you might be a swimmer.
If the first place you go when you're stressed out is a swimming pool, you might be a swimmer.
If you sweat chlorine even after showering, you might be a swimmer.
If your screenname has something to do with water or the pool, you might be a swimmer.
If you cut yourself every time you shave, because you only do it 3 or 4 times a year and are out of practice, you might be a female swimmer.
and my own additions to shipley's:
you know you've been swimming for a long long time when your friends and family don't even blink twice when you say "I only see him without his clothes on"... :D
if you sweat chlorine even after showering multiple times , you might be a swimmer...
and if every single screenname you've ever had has something to do with water or the pool, you might be a swimmer...
