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

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. You guys are awesome. I aspire to be you when I grow up, as I've said before. My husband is only now going back to competition after taking quite a few years off with the exception of road races with my son. He is an OCD exerciser, however, and that is generally a good thing. It means he usually understands and accommodates my own OCD exercising. Although sometimes he rolls his eyes at my "silly internet forum" like Mrs. Geek. But he is very low maintenance and considers himself a "fitness" runner. I'm hoping the Garmin Forerunner I'm getting him for Xmas doesn't change this ... Not sure I'd like to be married to a fellow swimmer though. Think perhaps different sports are better. Wouldn't want to be hurling Velveeta cheese at my husband as Laura has to do to when the Clydesdale snickers at her suit misadventures.
