Why do you swim?

Former Member

I was thinking today about a lot of things (class is over and I only work part-time so I have A LOT of free time :)) and I started to think about my swimming. Why I had started back, why I was doing it now, and what I hoped to someday accomplish with it. So then I began to wonder why every one here swam? What is your reason for dragging yourself out of bed every morning? What made you decide to come back after all those years off (if in fact you did take years off)? Is it for fitness, for fun, or some other reason? Just curious!

    Karen, I suck at math too, perhaps that is our problem ... lack of math skills make you enjoy life more! That's my theory and I'm stickin' to it!

Sorry, but you didn't provide all the steps in your proof. F- The correct proof sequence is: Math skills = good job good job = more $ more $ = more time (remember that Einstein proved that "time is money" in his Theory of Irrelativity) more time = more swimming more swimming = enjoy life more. Then by transitivity of equality: math skills = enjoy life more. Q.E.D. -LBJ

    lack of math skills = not caring at all which = a much happier exsistence! PS - I manage to swim 5-6 days a week w/o a math related job!

Don't say it.... don't say it.... bite your tongue.... be nice, there are respectable people reading this post...... ungh.... fight the urge to say something.... Oh, hey - sorry, I was just talking to myself. Seriously - I swim ... 1. So I can eat ice cream several days a week and not gain weight. 2. It is actually fun.... except for kick sets. 3. Gotta love the endorphin high - no hangover!

Still can't. Don't worry about it.... I didn't have anything witty to say either! In fact, I'm still waiting for my first genuinely witty thought...... 35 years and counting.:(

I can attest that the 'bezaires theorem' is fundamentally flawed ;)
