You know you're swimming in the north when....

Your wet hair turns into icicles within fifteen seconds of exiting the building!

You swim in the morning and leave the wet towel/suit in the car all day and it is frozen when you get home. When the "outdoor pool" opens on Memorial Day and closes on Labor Day.

You have to wait on the Ice Breaker to finish clearing out a lane before you can start your workout.

you do extra backstroke so that you can watch the snow falling....even if it's on the sky lights. ~Kyra p.s try this its really cool!!

When you get up in the morning and have to scrape the ice and snow off your car before you go to the gym, and then have to do it again when you leave the gym! Oh the fun!

Your outdoor swimming complex doubles as an ice skating rink in the winter.

You know you are swimming in the north when you are driving to the pool and apply your brakes, you do not slide on the ice. George

Your tongue sticks to your goggles when you try to lick the fog off of them.

OR, when you're 35 years old and you pray for serenity during AM practice so you can get out early and go for coffee!
