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 know you're hooked on swimming
IF YOU:
swim each week as much as you can. Preferrably once a day. Maybe twice.
would rather wake up early & go to practice than wake up your spouse early to frolick.
think about swimming much of your day.
spend too much time on usms.org/forums catching up
have memorized all Ande's Swim Faster Faster Tips and can't wait for him to write more.
hang out with swimmers after practice.
are married to a swimmer.
all your vacation time is spent at meets
posess a suitfolio of no longer legal tech suits
use words like SDK or DPS or LTB & the person you're talking to has clue.
your frisky fantasies involve swimmers & have any aquatic related dialog.
dream of swimming with dolphins & of being a dolphin
can squirt water from one hand or 2, spray a mist of water high and far, or blow perfect bubble rings from the deepend
your idea of fun is 20 x 100 fr scy on 1:10
spend more time shopping for suits than clothes
SWIMMER,
if you answered YES! to any of the above
then you my friend might be seriously hooked on swimming
& the only therapy the only cure is:
more swimming!
You can no longer date non-swimmers.
You spend so much time in the gym prepping to swim or in the pool that you haven't been on a date in well over 6 months.

Hey Ande! Welcome to my thread!! When I started it, I was hoping and waiting, hoping and waiting, then hoping and waiting more for your post. You didn't disappoint me! And, your post rocks!! :applaud:
What do you (and everybody elses on this thread) think of having a USMS t-shirt that has the logo on the front and the best of this thread listed on the back? If any of USMS' partners are out there reading this, what do you think of adding something like that to your product line? I'll buy a t-shirt! :D

Sorry I missed this post before responding to Allen's. I was at work and sneaking a peek at the forums in between things, so I was rushing. Which reminds me...
You know you're hooked on swimming when you sneak peeks at the USMS forums while you're at work, because you don't want to miss out on what's happening with the forumites. :)
ANYWAY, I checked out your link and responded. Two like minds!!! Let's take your idea and my idea and make it happen! :applaud:
