I was wondering if any fellow Smashers swam, competitively or otherwise. I think it is one of the best sports (although soccer will always be first for me :bee:) and it is an excellent way of staying in shape. I hate the chlorine though. :laugh:

I used to swim just for recreation purposes but I have been on my school's swim team for the past two years. I just came back from a Swim meet and I am pretty disappointed with my results:

50 m Breaststroke - 53.43
100 m Freestyle - 126.96
50 m Freestyle - 34.73 (however DQ)

What are your fastest times (if any)?

I swam all four years I was in high school on my high school's swim team, though since graduation last May I haven't done much. I can't remember all my exact times, but I know them in my main two events and a couple others to the nearest second:

100 Yard Butterfly -- 1:09
100 Yard Breaststroke -- 1:19
50 Yard Freestyle -- 0:28
100 Yard Freestyle -- 1:04

I can't remember any others... I really only swam the 100 Butterfly and the 100 Breaststroke after my sophomore year, only occassionally getting thrown into one of the others.


Oh, and it definitely is the coolest sport ever! :grin:

I'm a springboard diver, which is basically is categorized in the same "team" as swimming.
I'm not a fast swimmer....just diving....haha....

It never ceases to amaze me how many people can't swim. We learn to do it as part of PE here in Australia which explains why I tend to find more American's who can't swim than Aussies.

I joined the swim team for like 2 days.

It's drowning with a certain direction in mind.

we have that here, too. or at least my school did.

I'm a decent swimmer. Nowhere near a competitive level, but if thrown into a body of water, I wouldn't drown.

I used to do swimming, but now I do springboard diving like Meta-Kirby.
50 free-0:28
100 free-1:07

That's all I can remember, I haven't been doing it competitively for a long time.

I HATE SWIMMING. My cross country makes me do it during the off season for training and it hurts soooooo much.

But I have a friend who just won state in florida, 100m breaststroke I believe.

And I had another friend who won state in three events his senior year, and was ACC freshman of the year last year at Virginia, and he also got to compete in the Olympic trials and get pwned by phelps.
