You KNOW you're hooked on swimming when...

1. You open the door to the pool and get that first whiff of chlorine and think to yourself, "I love the smell of chlorine in the morning!" 2. Your new issue of Swimmer Magazine arrives :bliss: and you immediately sit down and read it cover to cover (including the ads!). But, then, the realization sets in that now you have to wait two months until the NEXT issue arrives. 3. You find yourself counting strokes instead of sheep to fall asleep at night. Then, just when you're about to fall asleep, instead of your leg twitching a little bit, it does a full whip kick :afraid:, and you ride the glide to slumberland... :bed: Now it's your turn...

    you put off the decision to colour your hair until after the summer swimming season... your spouse's birthday present to you is a new swimsuit you buy yourself... you watch your kids swim, and itch to get in the pool the entire time.... there's an empty lane at the kid's swim practice for a week, so you get the OK to use it... you get up at 5.30 every morning in the summer to swim in the outside pool starting in the dark and sometimes the rain.... you can't wait until the kids are in school again so you can swim at the indoor pool at a more sensible time of day... its 12pm and the fourth swimming pool you've seen that day...
