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?

With 200,000 miles on it, what could they possibly do to it, short of torch it?
Dear Mr. Jansen,
Hello - Anna Lea's 1993 Subaru here. Boy, are my feelings hurt! :(
Much like you Masters swimmers, just because I'm now competing in the 195,000-199,999 age group doesn't mean that I look my age. Just take a look at my photo!
OK, sure, I have my ailments. My technique is suffering a little bit, especially in my turns. I can't accelerate at the end of a race the way I used to. My CV joints creak until I get warmed up. But I'm bound and determined to age up into that 200,000+ category!
Love,
The 1993 Subie
Dear Mr. Jansen,

Mea Culpa.
Some of by best friends are old Subaru's - really. I gave away our 1992 Loyale (that had 200,000 miles on it) 2 years ago to an 18 year old who needed transportation. He just sold it and it is still running. (This was the Subie that the hood popped open at 55 mph and came through the front windshield on me. I ended up in a cornfield, spitting glass out of my mouth.) Before that ,it was a 1989 Justy that cost 's hit Powerball recently, she's not going to get a Subaru for her next car - apparently Subaru has forgotten that they used to make good, reasonablely priced cars.

And speaking of personalized plates; the state of Maryland will soon be issuing USMS license plates.
I’d include a sample; unfortunately the GIF is too big to save here.
Colorado just approved I SWIM2. Paul , look for it at DU in 10-12 weeks. It needs to be made! Someone in Georgia can now apply for WESWIM which I had for 25 years. Enjoyed meeting you at Castle Rock. I beginning to get use to the altitude...still get a bit winded on anything over 500 yards.
