Long story short, I am getting a new (used) car this week. I am not planning to get rid of my current car immediately; I've got to see it turn over 200,000 miles on the odometer before I can even think about parting with it!
Anyway, I have a personalized plate on that car. I am debating whether to move the personalized plate to the new car, or to just get another personalized plate. (They're cheap here in the Land of Oz.)
I need help thinking of a good swimming-related plate. It can be any combination of up to seven letters, numbers, or spaces. (No punctuation marks are available.)
My current plate is LV2SWIM (see the attached image).
Any ideas for a new plate?

Anna Lea,
How come when I was reading this post in my email, when I got to the 200,000 mile part, I knew it was you?
You could always reverse the current plate.

Leo,
You're the only person on these forums who has actually had the privilege of driving my old car!
I don't think I like your reversal suggestion, because I don't think anyone will understand it. I want to be able to promote swimming as I'm driving around town!
I was thinking about swim meet events. "50 FREE" or "500FREE", for example. But my best events are the breaststroke events, and I'm not sure how to get that on a license plate and still meet the DMV's "no obscenities" rule....
My two cars have:
200 BRST, I have had it since 1987
and
50 BRST
In Kalifornia I can't have an actual 200, it is two "O" "O" not two zero zero.
The O looks just like a zero.
Either are perfect for breaststrokers.:rofl:
AQUAHWK (since you're a Kansas fan).:wave:
Sarah, good idea, but there's a problem. The University of Kansas is located in Lawrence, Kansas; Lawrence's age-group swim team is called the "Aquahawks". I swim in Kansas City at the pool used by their rival, the Kansas City Blazers. If I were to show up at the pool with an AQUAHWK license plate, who knows what those Blazer kids would do to my car.... :)

SWMFSTR (apologies to Ande Rasmussen)
and if the designation fits, SWF SWMR

With 200,000 miles on it, what could they possibly do to it, short of torch it?
