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?

Trust me. I'm permanently in the dog house with the in-laws. We are like oil and vinegar starting with they smoke like chimneys (my hubby does not) - and that does not mix too well with swimming.
How do you guys post so much!?

You talk once to your husband's boss about swimming and carb loading pre competitions and as a result, hubby's holiday gift from boss is now a mega box of tamales?! Random!? What happened to the grapefruits?
:rofl:
(They were shipped today - 90 of them. I've eaten 4 and am now offically stopping before I gain 100 lbs.)
You go training and stay a bit longer than usual without thinking that you have to get home for you son, so that your wife can take your daughter to perform in the local production of "The Nutcracker."
