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...

  • Shortly after swimming the 21 miles between Catalina Island to the California mainland with two friends, the three of you start planning a double crossing for 2011.:) :bow: :applaud: My favorite OW (very!) long distance swimmer, Lynn Cox, wrote two books about her swimming experiences. I think you would enjoy reading them! I will never forget growing up on East Beach (Alamitos Bay Peninsula), in Long Beach, and watching Lynn Cox run on the soft sand and swim along the shore, training for her swims. She was in her teens, then, and had an amazing swimming career! :applaud:
