What male swimmers would you want to be the wife of and why?
Former Member
If you were a female (or are one) and could be the perfect sporting wife or girlfriend of a current (or now retired) male swimmer you greatly admire or even dislike, who would you most want to (seriously or humorously) be with and please say why.
It's possible I was a woman. I know that I was female in the womb up to about the six week point in development, as we all are.
Maybe I was more of a girl.
Or a girlish salamander-like something or other.
My great aunt Marie dated Johnny Weismuller, which I always thought was very cool. I tell people that it's possible we are distantly related, but I am not sure this is entirely true. My great aunt had no children, so I am still working out my genetic link to Johnny.
I think I would have been a good wife to Johnny Weismuller, or as good a wife as a six-week old piece of protoplasm could be.
I could never be the "perfect sporting wife." Probably not even a good regular "wife" depending on who's definition you're using ... (Please, not Elise's. ;))
However, I'll mull the "or" part over and possibly respond.
Aaron Peirsol...'nuff said.
And Ande, no need to pass along my feelings to Aaron. I did that quite eloquently when we met in Austin. As I recall the conversation went something like this:
Aaron: So you just swam the 200 back?
Me: (drooling) Uh, yeah.
Aaron: How'd you do?
Me: (still drooling) Um, ok.
Aaron: Cool.
Me: Yeah, thanks.
Pure chemistry!
I'm jealous!!!
Aaron would be my choice, too.
I wish I had a husband who understood swimming a bit more. When I get sick, he tells me it's because I'm over training. What?!
I'll be Kristina Cream Puff's wife...she's more of a man (in the pool) than 80% of the guys on here...
:D:chug:
Only 80%? I'd revise that number upward by quite a bit!! (But less so with the new forum name.)
Hmmm ... somebody who makes me laugh, enjoys keeping the house reasonably tidy but doesn't mind if I park my bicycles in the dining room or have my swim bag in the living room; can keep junk food out of the house and not drink all my diet cokes; understands when I "need" new computer equipment or swim stuff.
