Would you consider swimming to be a self-involved hobby?
I read an article that said.
"He may be a workaholic, a womanizer, hooked on TV, caught in addictions or self-involved hobbies."

Yes, in a very positive way. Here's a quote from an article I wrote a while back.
"Swimming is a grueling, relentless, and intimate sport. It has the ability to transform regular kids into incredible people, both in and out of the pool. Swimming tests an athlete every day. It makes one rethink what is possible. It requires swimmers of a young age to set goals, work hard for a long time, fail often, pick themselves up, and try again. Sounds a lot like what is required for success in the ‘real world’ to me."
So, of course I think this is a good thing.
