Swimming is one of my all time favorite sports, mainly because I was a competetive swimmer in high school, so… to see them compete in the summer Olymics is a highlight of the games for me. I love seeing them break records or just winning the gold (regardless of what nation), it’s amazing and actually gets my heart pounding so fast that I can hardly speak. Luckily, my husband was also a competetive swimmer in high school so he understands my breathlessness and excitement. I particularly love watching what I specialized in, the distance IM’s, the Medly Relays, and the distance freestyle finals. They shatter times that were my best, but that makes it even sweeter to watch them… because I can appriciate their skill and strength. It sounds weird, but watching them transports me to being right within their heart and making every stroke, kick and breath. I love winning the gold medal! : D
