There seems to be as many opinions and misinformation floating around about personal weight that I thought we might share and perhaps open our minds a bit. Here are the questions that I feel will provide useful info:
Age
Sex
Height
Present weight range (many people vary 3-4 lbs over a day)
Ideal weight range for optimum health (your opinion)
Ideal weight range for optimum swimming performance
What steps are you taking, or will you be taking, to lose or
gain the weight difference between present & optimum.

168
I'm heavier than most people think for some reason. I wear 32 jeans. I weighed 140 in high school, 160 when I graduated from college. I've been as high as 185.
I like food, beer, and red wine. I will never give up beer since I brew it.
Lots of tall people here. I wish I were 6' (for swimming reasons only).
