Yes, she walked onto the pool deck for the first time before one of our workouts and I literally thought "Oh, oh, here comes trouble!" And I was dead right.

As freshman in college, I was a swimmer and she was one of the timers our coach talked into helping at practices. (Back in the age of stopwatches and big analog deck clocks.)

Yes. 43 years ago as we both coached summer league teams and kept running into each other on a regular basis until we finally decided to go on an official date. Great summer job I'd say!

Yes, indirectly. We met on a pool deck when I was pool lifeguarding and he was a beach lifeguard coming in to lap swim to keep in shape for long ocean rescues. Now we are both retired and swimming masters, which makes for some fun adventures, including relays together and sometimes being in the same heats when we swim the same events. --mj:blush:

Met on the local swim club when she was 6 and I was 8. Dated once or twice in high school, went to different colleges in CA. Lost touch for 15+ years, then re-connected - and married - after she "had a dream" about me and emailed me. I am the luckiest guy in the world.

Nope, through a love of beer drinking and Mexican food.

Yep. She was on the women's team and I on the men's in college. Over the course of five years there were about 8 couples from our team that went on to get married. And now several of our kids are swimming!

I voted yes, but we didn't actually meet at swimming. My wife just never showed any interest in me until she saw me in a speedo. That is a yes vote, right?

Not yet, I've got some ideas though...but first I have to run it by the current Mrs Stud:D

Sort of met through swimming. We both swam in high school (different teams). I remembered her from swim meets because she was just over 6' and super cute. Two years after high school we met again in a college class, I asked her out, and we just celebrated 15yrs of marrige this fall. :bliss::bliss::bliss::bliss:

I have been recently advised both verbally and with a single finger involved that if I don't stop swimming/running/biking/goofing/etc so much that there is a distinct chance I could meet my next wife via swimming.

Nope, through a love of beer drinking and Mexican food. We met in theater, but we found the above to be a particularly good binding agent in a good marriage.

No ... met in a smoky bar in Africa, but eventually learned that she did some age group swimming early on in life. Fortunately for me, she loves the sport and has enthusiastically supported both me and our kids in our swimming ventures.

Nope, in a country western bar. Our 23rd anniversary is in 3 weeks. I am a morning person, he is an evening person. I swim and do a little running. He runs and does even less swimming. He keeps getting hurt running (now on his second fractured hip) :cane:, I have kept healthy swimming - knock on wood. :fish2:

I met my soon to be wife (getting married May 17th) on our University swim team. I was the outgoing Senior and she was the shy freshman. :)

We were on opposing teams and we met just before a classic relay showdown. It wasn't as cute as the way Chris met his wife.
