...a large group of (large) people file into the YMCA pool area on a Sunday afternoon and fill the bleachers, not to watch me finish my set, but to conduct a baptism.
They stayed away from the lap swimmers.

At first I though this was an incomplete redneck joke, then I realized that it actually happened:D
You swim outdoors year round - even when the temperature drops into the high twenties and there is so much steam coming off the pool you can't see the other end.
Your Local YMCA asks you to check your guns in at the front desk before entering the pool......(sorry! I just got on a role I guess?)

You know your swimming in the South when....
The pool water becomes so saturated with snuff that it turns a dingy yellow.

p.s. I'm sorry I can't stop....but you gotta look at where I live!
You know you are swimming in the south when the pool is closed every afternoon for several hours while the daily thunderstorms roll through.
You know you are swimming in the south when someone asks, "Do y'all mind if I share this lane with you," rather than just jumping in.
You know you are swimming in the south when it is too hot to go swimming in the afternoon.
You know you are swimming in the south when, during the summer, the pool is drained slightly and fresh cool water is put in to lower the water temperature.
You see a guy on the pool deck in a trenchcoat selling waterproof Bibles.

p.s. I hope no one is taking offense to my jokes!! Please let me know (via private e-mail if they are!)
