What do posters think? Is it better to date or marry another swimmer than a non-swimming athlete or non-athlete? Does it lead to discord or harmony? Too much couple competition? Or more understanding when you want to go to practice or meets all the time? Is swimcest the best?
I notice Cruise married a swimmer ... and we know about Muppet ...
This brings up another point, though, does the competition in the pool ever affect your relationship?
I know a married couple that sometimes have a bit of difficulty competing together. They are both elite masters swimmers, but one is at a higher level. I think it creates issues sometimes for them. They rarely converse at meets. On the other hand, they are understanding about the need for practice time and making sure each gets to their workouts.
I think, if you're a swimming couple, it might help to have different strokes or events.
I'm just as happy not to be married to a swimmer, but I like being married to an endurance athlete because I think they have more of a sense of the pain, time, commitment, etc. involved.
