Swimming Secrets

I’m talking about the kind of information that you don’t normally share with others. For example, I once went three weeks without washing my swim towel, but I find it disgusting when other people lick the inside of their goggles to keep them from fogging. I also pretend that I don’t care about racing anymore, but secretly I still look at everyone's times. What are some of your swimming secrets?

  • Hmm. Speaking of brushing and flossing, does chlorine make your teeth whiter? Because in the months since I started swimming, I could swear my teeth have gotten whiter. I have the whitest teeth in my family now. Actually, just the opposite. A dentist friend states that it is a known problem among avid swimmers that teeth will discolor. I think this has come up before on the forum. I lick my goggles, get over it.
