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 have a couple more...
You know you are a swimmer when dryland even enters your vocabulary. You dread drylands. And you say drylands like it is a dirty word and think it's absurd anyone would want to do anything on land.
YKYAASW you have what appears to be an allergy to chlorine yet still swim.
YKYAASW you work overtime every week just to scrape out extra money for a pool membership.
YKYAASW (and this is a repeat but so true for me) you aren't able to swim for a couple years and have such vivid dreams about swimming you must find any way possible to scrape together money get into the pool again.
YKYAASW you rearrange your life around the pool schedule.
YKYAASW you don't understand why CVS doesn't sell UltraSwim year round.
...you're secretly happy that your Mother's flight from London gets delayed by just enough to allow you to swim a mile before you have to leave to drive 2hrs to get her from Newark Airport!! :rofl:
True Story lol
YKYASW - your injured and told to stay out of the pool, and you 'drop in"just to get a quick wiff of the chlorine...:(
YKYASW - you coworkers want to know when you can return to swimming because your soooo cranky.....:frustrated:
YKYASW - your Christmas list is all swim stuff that has to be ordered and your family members don't know what it is ...
When seeking refreshment, you feel compelled to do a two-hand touch on the water cooler before returning to your office
When someone says lets start the meeting, you want to dive across the full length of the conference table in a streamlined position
.. you stop at the pool on the way home from the first skiing trip of the year to (1) swim a couple of hundred yards and (2) sit for a while in the sauna & hot tub.
Did it this evening (Wednesday) after about 6 hours on the slopes at Crystal Mountain.
I may never walk again ...
Happy Thanksgiving all!!
