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 ...
I married my (masters) coach. :D
It's usually a good thing... both understanding wanting to train, not smelling the chlorine fumes. Tough when one person is injured (usually me) and can't swim when the other heads off to practice. Now that we have a kidlet, we run into trouble when we want to swim the same event at meets (trying to balance who gets to swim down and who doesn't) :) As our toddler gets older, I can see it will become more of an issue balancing meets and training time because we won't just be able to drag her along to our events. She will be dragging us to her stuff... I think this happens to everyone with kids, though, not just swimmers!
On the bright side, it is nice to both agree that swim meets are a great thing to plan family vacations around!!
