10 Reasons Why You Should Date A Swimmer (Complement to 10 Reason to Marry a Swimmer<\/a>)<\/em><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
It’s hard to escape dating a swimmer when your primary interests include swimming, swimming, and more swimming.\u00a0Luckily for you, swimmers are an incredibly appealing breed of athlete. Here are ten reasons why you should consider making a swimmer your next partner:<\/div>\n

1. We\u2019re always clean (or at least heavily chlorinated).<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Who says chlorine should only act as a perfume? Chlorine is an all-inclusive antibacterial, body wash, shampoo, and conditioner. What a bargain.<\/p>\n

2. Eating a lot\u2026together.<\/strong><\/h2>\n

If you want to pig-out and feel good about it, try eating with a swimmer. Carbo-loading is the perfect opportunity to sit back, relax, and enjoy the fact that the person you\u2019re sitting across the table from can eat twice as much as you (and probably more if given the chance). There is no judgement.<\/p>\n

3. Who doesn\u2019t love watching swim meets?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Why not go on a watch-my-partner-dominate-the-pool date? Swim meets are the perfect occasion for you to support the team and yell about how much you absolutely adore your partner. Later, take time to watch, talk, and maybe even play other sports. Just stay a safe distance away from us because despite our natural prowess in the water, we\u2019re usually clumsy on land.<\/p>\n

4. That swimmer\u2019s body.<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Muscles, abs, shoulders, and a tight suit…need I say more?<\/p>\n

5. The transformation from sweats to clothes.<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Unfortunately swimming, like so many other sports, forces us to choose between convenient comfortable attire and what\u2019s \u201cin.\u201d We generally prefer the former, but for those special someones who request monkey suits and skimpy dresses, we\u2019re willing to do a temporary costume change.<\/p>\n

6. Clocks are our frenemies.<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Swimming takes time, so do relationships, eating, sleeping, and studying. Don\u2019t worry, we\u2019ll squeeze you in.<\/p>\n

7. We typically have less body hair (at least during taper).<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Have you heard of No-Shave-November? That\u2019s okay, keep enjoying our smooth naked mole rat skin and we\u2019ll fill you in later.<\/p>\n

8. Netflix party anyone?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\"netflix\"<\/p>\n

Before practice, after practice, between practices: Swimmers need lounge time. Stop by, meet a teammate (or ten) and relish in the non-productivity.<\/p>\n

9. We\u2019re dedicated.<\/strong><\/h2>\n

We\u2019re dedicated to going back and forth across the pool hundreds of times for hours, days, years all the while staring at the same black line and pondering what our time will be when we touch the wall. Chances are, you\u2019re worthy of dedication.<\/p>\n

10. We like to be prepared.<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Wait, showing up to a meet with five pairs of goggles in a swim bag is weird? What about swimming five hours a day to finish a race after 20 some seconds? Swimmers are prepared mentally, intellectually, materialistically, physiologically\u2026Amorously? Probably.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
