Inspired by the adventures & advice recounted in the Women are trouble thread, I thought I'd propose a related thread: How I met my Sweetie through Swimming (masters or whatever).
I'll start the ball rolling...
Sixteen years ago I was taking advantage of an extended dayshift position in my (then) policing career by working out most mornings with a age-group club in North Vancouver and evenings with my masters club & was devoting myself to a rather monastic lifestyle designed to see just how far I could take my swimming-then...one night, in walks a new female swimmer to our masters workout & literally I thought "oh no, here comes trouble!" We made acquaintance through the post-workout ritual hottub & I knew that it was serious trouble when I discovered that she was a breastroker (I was surrounded by stroke philistines who preferred others) & after she took off her bathing cap (auburn hair? I'm sunk). Nevertheless, I stubbornly tried to adhere to my swimmerly vows of perfection attainment until a few weeks later after a local meet she mentioned that she had been given two tickets for a play & would I like to come along?
We've been married for fourteen years now.
Swimming perfection? Naah, but lifetime happiness I'll take over that, anytime.

I met my "Chuckie" in a little different way. I was walking home with a group of swimmers and as we passed Roberts Resturant (I was 19 at the time) one of the swimmers I knew was talking to a girl and we all joined in. I was introduced to Chuckie a very pretty 15 year old. I thought she was cute but I was 19 she was 15.
Four years later I was walking the beat (I was a Cop) and saw this girl again. We talked again, I had not seen her for 4 years.
She invited me to a sorority ball. I told her I can't dance, she said come to my house and my sister and I will teach you. The music we danced to was Moon Glow and that was it. Was it love at first sight or second sight?
