Yet another random question that I was curious about. Obviously everyone here is either physically fit or well on their way, but do you consider yourself to be an athlete? What do you consider an athlete to be?
Any person who engages in physical activity weekly, daily, etc., and continues with it, is both athletic and an athlete in my book, and as an athlete ages and continues to be athletic, they are true athletes. Because as body parts start to hurt a bit more with age and we continue in our athletic ways, this is a good indication of those who are athletes, competing or not.
So, yes, I am a swimming athlete.

Donna, I cannot believe someone would be so rude!!!!! :shakeshead: :shakeshead: You gave him a great answer and I hope you let that awful experience flow off of you like water on a duck. You have become one of my secret heroes and I am so excited about your upcoming swim and the training for it. Please keep us posted. I pray I am one half as athletic as you are when I am 57!!!:woot: :woot:
