Funny stuff!
You know be a swimmer if..
Whenever you hear an electronic beep, and you instinctively jump.
You have rings around your eyes unrelated to the amount of sleep you got.
Waking up before dawn to exercise seems normal. (You might also be crazy.)
Jamming a piece of styrofoam between your legs is not a kinky sexual activity.
Bugs die of chlorine poisoning when they land on your skin.
You sport long, curling hair with split ends on your legs.
The phrase "This set with fins" is better than hearing "You just won $1000."
You answer, "I don't need to" when someone asks when you showered last.
You love a good lightning storm when you have outdoor practice.
You learn how to squirt water 15 different ways.
Your long term goal is to slap your bicep on your lat.
You wake up before six for the free doughnuts.
You go through so much latex in one season you could wallpaper your room.
A friend asks how a certain guy dresses and you reply, "I only see him without clothes on."
Your friends have stopped asking you about your plans for the evenings.
You go from store to store desperately trying to find your favorite sports drink.
The first place you go when you're stressed out is a swimming pool.
Among your heroes are Janet, Jenny, or Amanda, or you know who I'm talking about.
Your daily apparel is held together by knots or is torn and see through.
You have an inhaler in every color of the rainbow.
The phrase "50 double armed backstroke with breast kick” makes you happier than anything.
Being fish-like is a compliment.
Your friends don't call you anymore because they know you have no time to do anything.
Your nightmares consist of a series of numbers ending in 0 or 5.
You have hickeys on your neck. (Or you might be lucky.)
You sweat chlorine even after showering.
You just don't understand the charm of the swimsuit edition.
Getting smacked on the butt doesn't bother you at all.
Someone asks if you have any siblings and you start listing teammates.
You cut yourself when shaving 'cos you only do it 3-4 times a year and are out of practice.
You wear SPF 1000 sunscreen and still get super tanned.
You are determined, strong, smart and tough.
Here's Part 2, since people keep getting confused. Lol.
You go through shampoo like other people go through Kleenex.
Sleeping in is waking up at 7.
Guys in speedos just totally loose their attractiveness.
"This set with fins" is music to your ears.
Your swim team is more like your family, and most of your best friends are there.
Improving half a second is very satisfying.
Your non-swimmer friends are jealous 'cos you miss school for meets.
Your coach gets MSN/AIM to make sure you're not still on late at night.
A bathing suit that's half your size doesn't seem at all wrong.
"5 minute stretch break" is the best part of workout.
Waterproof mascara is non-existent.
Your hair will never smell the same again.
Your knees/legs have cuts all over them from the side of the pool.
You go through the economy size bottle of lotion weekly.
Chlorine is your perfume.
Vacation is hell on earth because you don't feel like going in the hotel pool.
You live on a diet of Gatorade and Power Bars.
You don't look forward to holidays because you have double/triple practice.
All of your friends are swimmers!
I can SO relate to every single one of these! Or at least i could at the beginning of this last school year and every year before that since i was 7...and i'm still a swimmer at heart! No matter how hard you try, you just can't get rid of that cholrine smell when your skin gets wet...kinda grody yes, but it's a swimmer for you! Hehe!
