What male swimmers would you want to be the wife of and why?

I have to say I agree with (S)he-Puff. I don't see how you can have two fanatic athletes in one family. If you add kids in there, it's even harder. I have to offer the other point of view. My wife and I compete in nearly everything together (except running events, where I can't). That means we train together, share goals and ideas, and have common motivations. She beats the snot out of me in XC ski races and I can still hold her off in swimming. On the bike and in the weight room (if you go by percentage of body weight), we are about the same. There is never an issue that I have to go bowling or she has to go shopping and we don't have different ideas about vacations (they ALWAYS must revolve around our training goals) - we always do things together. As a result, we've developed the same deep love of food, beer and wine. We've been married since 1966.
