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...
:lmao:
(Note to That Guy: I love your avatar. :D It became my favorite after Chris Stevenson removed his cute dog! :bitching: )
(Note to Allen, Doug, James, and Kirk: If I had the extra :2cents: (x $$$), I would fly out your way for a meet. What a hoot! Besides, it's one of my favorite regions of the country. :agree: )
Thanks Elaine! I guess $$$ is the reason that I'm not coming to Greensboro. I have plenty of vacation saved up...

Well, I understand that! Perhaps we'll finally catch up with each other in Mission Viejo? My family lives in Long Beach and L.A., and, I lived most of my life in San Diego, so my $$$ will definitely go towards a trip out west for 2013 LCM Nats.! :bliss:
James? Allen & Carol?? Kirk??? :cheerleader:
Well I finished Lynn Sherr's book, "Swim" (see this post: U.S. Masters Swimming Discussion Forums - View Single Post - You KNOW you're hooked on swimming when... ) and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Great job, Lynn! :applaud: Not only was there so much interesting swimming history and tidbits; it was written with such delightful humor. At times, she had me :lmao:. The chapter about swimwear was a real hoot! :D I wrote a review of the book on Amazon: www.amazon.com/.../R1E60VJ06D3J5N
Lynn, thank you for including me in your acknowledgements and including posts from this thread in your book!
You KNOW you're hooked on swimming when your favorite books and magazine ("Swimmer") are all about swimming! :bliss:
You know you are hooked on swimming when you tend to wear your swimsuit pulled down on your hips, like a firefighter, so just in case you get a chance to squeeze in a swim while you are out and about, you are prepared.
That's almost like wearing your swim cap to bed the night before a meet just so you'll be ready!

No joke, I am at work right now, full uniform sitting in my office, and under my uniform, I have my swimsuit on (kindof like Superman), because when my shift is over, I am walking voer to the gym (at 1am) to squeeze in a swim before I go to bed :).
