Swimming for as long as we have, it\u2019s fair to say we\u2019ve seen a lot of interesting things in our career. Staring at a black line on the bottom of the pool is fun, right? With goggles and a cap as our weapon of choice, we course through the chlorinated water, striving to improve our skills daily. Although everyone\u2019s journey in the water is different, some things we can all understand.<\/p>\n<h2>Here are 48 surefire ways to tell you&#8217;re a swimmer.<\/h2>\n<p><strong>1. Your hair\u2019s almost always wet, and your hairstyle of choice is a swimmer bun.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>2. You carry around the smell of chlorine as if it were perfume.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>3. Showering seems like too much of an effort, especially when you\u2019ll be in the water in seven hours.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>4. You\u2019re always thinking about food: what you\u2019ll eat after practice, what you\u2019re eating for lunch, what you\u2019re eating now, and what you\u2019ll eat next.<\/strong><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_337954\" style=\"width: 710px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-337954\" data-attachment-id=\"337954\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/48-surefire-ways-to-tell-youre-a-swimmer\/img_5252\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/IMG_5252.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"4032,3024\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;2.4&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;iPhone X&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1542224847&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;6&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;64&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0.033333333333333&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"lotion\" data-image-description=\"&lt;p&gt;IMG_5252&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;Photo Courtesy: Isabelle Robuck&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/IMG_5252-700x500.jpg\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/IMG_5252-1024x768.jpg\" class=\"wp-image-337954 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/IMG_5252-700x500.jpg\" alt=\"IMG_5252\" width=\"700\" height=\"500\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-337954\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo Courtesy: Isabelle Robuck<\/p><\/div>\n<p><strong>5.
