[quote=Anonymous]My DS (9) swims on a club team.  He holds his own, winning some heats, sometimes placing high in races, but that doesn't really matter to me.

DS plays other sports.  I go and watch him play.  I'm bored when he's out of the game.  Someimtes I even get a little bored when he's in the game.  But not swimming.

DH asked me the other night why I am such a rabid swim fan.  I mean, I can barely swim.  It's not like he is carrying on my great family tradition of swimming because really only my dad can swim, and he never was on a team.  I am a total nut about swimming.  I watched more of the Olympics than anybody, including DS.  I pay rapt attention to his swims at meets.  I think it has something to do with the beauty of swimming, the way a good swimmer moves thorugh the water with such grace.  (Except for DS's fly - his fly isn't so pretty!)

I just wondered of the other rabid swim parents out there - and I know some in real life but am too embarrassed to ask this question - what is it?  What makes you so passionate about swimming?

If you were a competitive swimmer, and your parents were rabid swim fans, was that creepy or OK as long as you knew they were fine with however you did?[/quote]
