How great and amazing the sport of swimming is. But non-swimmers just don’t seem to get it.

Call us crazy. Waking up at 5 in the morning to swim a couple thousand yards, in freezing waters.
Call us crazy. We experience pain in every inch of our body day after day and for most of us it’s twice a day.
Call us crazy. Staring at a black line for hours is considered fun.
Call us crazy. 20 x 200’s @ 2:10 is baby stuff.
Call us crazy. We think swimming is hard, when everyone else thinks differently
Call us crazy. Our best friends we see 75% or more naked daily.
Call us crazy. We sit at meets for 6 hours to swim for 5 minutes
Call us crazy, but no matter what we love the sport of swimming and well, we just might be crazy.
