a guy on my team's swimming with aaron next year, i gotta admit he's pretty cool, but ed will alwayz be for me! :D but lenny...he's kinda old no offense...i haven't seen him since aaron started to break his records...

[swimusa]

Aaron only started breaking his records in April. And he's only 26.

Swimusa: are you saying you find Lenny and Aaron attractive?

[swimusa]

I am.

[BigFish]

Didn't you claim to be a bloke earlier?

[James S]

And this means he can't be a bloke? :confused:

[swimusa]

I beg your pardon? I think that would be saved for a discussion in the off-topic threads.

[BigFish]

Not at all, its just that I always thought he was female; I have no idea why, it's just the mental image I have and it won't go away! No offence SwimUSA.

[swimusa]

non taken, coincidentally I thought the same of Lane4 for the first month. I have since learned and apologized

[lane4]

He defo said he was a bloke in the thread about good looking female swimmers.

And he defo said he finds Aaron and Lenny attractive.

You do the maths.

[swimusa]

Scottish people have a definitive knack for their blunt observations of the obvious. I highly suggest, and I do hope a moderator sees this, that we stop questioning why I said what I said and revert to the trail of swimming on this thread

Unfortuntely he is a moderator :rolleyes:

But so am I :devil: and I wholeheartedly agree - back to the swimming!:D

[swimleeds]

Back to swimming.

Not surprisingly, I nominate James Hickman. Yes I know he swims for this club, but the amount of his time which he is willing to spend with the younger kids, by turning up to hand out prizes and sign autographs for a few hours shows what an ambassador for the sport he is and also a good roll model.

[rogant stard]

Yes, he was certainly trying to spend a lot of time with a handful of younger teenage girls known to me when he came up to Scotland for the recent GB Grand Prix Final.

Hats off to him for all the hard work he puts in in this respect, whether it be in the warm-up and swim down pool or showers.

[Bazza]

Too true Rogant!!

Still, I guess he's a better role model than Mr. Foster, at least he's helping to keep those girls in question interested in the sport, no??:rolleyes:

[lane4]

Fos has been adored by girl swimmers for many a year, no doubt extending their life in the sport in the process. Problem is though, that hardly any of them realise how slim their chances (zero) are with the guy.

[Bazza]

Is the same not true of Hickman??:devil: :p :eek:

[rogant stard]

From the tone this thread appears to have taken perhaps it would be pertinent to change the name from "Who's your GUY swimmer" to......no, forget it.

[swimmer]

lol yeh cha! i think wot he is trying to say - please forgive me if i'm wrong, is that the guys would prob hav more chance wid dem ;) plz 4give me if im wrong!

This from a man who's changed his title to 25m queen...;)

[Bazza]

Well you don't get many Kings dominating the 25m events unfortunately. Swimmers unable to step up will always be looked down upon by the masses, especially those cursed middle distance swimmers...:mad:

[lane4]

That's because to be the king you have to suffer some pain whilst training hard and often. Queens can't cope with hard work so they like the 25's for which hard work is not necessary.

[nsswimmer]

hey lane4, are you being sexist??? a moderator, of all people...

Seriously, no sexism at all intended.

[swimusa]

NSS, are you the sexism police? You seem to enjoy questioning it.

[nsswimmer]

yea sure why not and how bout u be that guy who overanalyzes everyone's comments? *raised eyebrow* sorry if i offend you or whatever but i really don't believe there's anything you should get upset about :devil:

[swimusa]

You're right. You constantly tell people you are male, and they continue to assert you really aren't, or put up with people criticizing you because you are American, and you tell me how angry you might become.

[nsswimmer]

.

[nsswimmer]

look, i'm sorry about that. it just goes to show that either 1) people can't read or 2) they're just being mean. don't worry about it or try to ignore it as much as you can.

also, i am an american too and as a new yorker, i've had to put up with a lot of nasty comments about how rude and cruel new yorkers are in general. after september 11th, this all changed, but look at our country. we are constantly criticizing other countries and stepping in where our business has no right being in and where we are not wanted. i mean, george bush with "the axis of evil???" has he been watching too many star wars movies? in other countries, i can understand how people might not like the usa. don't get me wrong, i love my home more than anything, i would die for it. i'm just saying that people of different countries might percieve us as different than we percieve ourselves, and vice versa.

[swimusa]

There are other Americans who feel that we should not intervene in many places of conflict in the world, ie. Israel, Afghanistan, Iraq. But since becoming the superhegemon in 1945, we have had a tradition of promoting pro-democratic and often pro-American business ideals around the world, and anything short of that is considered oppressive. When we do not intervene (ie Rwanda 1994), we become chastized for not doing so. But in relevence to this BBS, the biggest problem is that if British people realize they are very similar to many Americans, they feel they are less European, and thus balance it out by 1/2 the time being pro-Europe, the other 1/2 pro-America. We have the same language, similar government style (though we place power on the Executive Branch where they do not) and similar culture.

[swimleeds]

I think that one of the main weaknesses of the people of the USA was that until Sept 11, they underestimated the meaning of terrorism and that they were loathe to condone it as they believed that this would never happen to themselves.

Since that day, they have had a greater understanding of the world in general, whereas before it was more a case of - if it does'nt affect me why worry.

Again this is a purely personal perspective.

I hope you mean condemn it, I don't believe the USA has ever condoned terrorism.

[swimmer]

ummmm hasn't this topic kinda derailled majorly from the topic of who's your guy swimmer?????!!!!!!!

[swimusa]

Swimmer, your powers of deduction are amazing :p
I am just kidding. But yes, it has been derailed.

[violet]

getting back on topic.....

my fave male swimmers are ian thorpe, gary hall jr and pieter van den hoogenband.

[Rachel]

Geoff Huegill :D :D ... Matt Welsh has a nice body ;) ... there's actually quite a few lookers on the Aussie team!

[mad4it]

i'd hav 2 agree with rachel & violet - the aussie team is pretty hot! lol. i was @ the commonwealth games and seeing ian thorpe and geoff huegill close up was soooo good! i'd only ever seen them on tv/magazines b4, but in real life they r pretty nice!
(altho i wood say, britain has a few up-and-coming hot young lads - just wit a few years till they are slightly older then we will see who u are all talking about - no names mentioned tho! (SCOTLAND))

[otter cub]

have to agree the Australians are rather good looking!
If Britain has a few up-and-coming hot men, i'd like to see them, afraid i don't believe you mad4it!

[super_fish88]

There are some up-and-coming hot men from Scotland. Just wait and see...

[super_fish88]

Talking of Australian swimmers, is it just me or does Ian Thorpe remind you of a duck?! (No offence to anyone who finds him good-looking!)

[luvkylebuboltz]

GARY HALL JR ALL THE WAY BABY! ;)

[violet]

well now that you mention it, sort of...but he's nowhere near as duck like as that stupid actress penelope cruz.

i forgot geoff huegill, he's a cutie. justin norris is also cute in his own wacky way.

[glen_75]

Don't fret Violet. Nic was too good for him!

Who in their right head would swap a swan for a mallard? :devil:

[violet]

oh definitely...tom is a complete nutter for dumping nic for her.

tom isn't all that great anyway. a boring overrated actor with a big nose is all he is!

[Bazza]

I thought he was a pretty good actor?

[nsswimmer]

lOL i love penelope cruz.. i think she and cruise are real cute together :P hehe

at any rate, she's better than angelina jolie and her fake puffed up lips =T

[violet]

Originally posted by bazzaroodoo

it might just be me, but he seems to play the same character in every film he's in. it's hard to describe exactly what i mean but yeah, i don't think he's a crash hot actor...there's so many actors out there with far more talent and don't seem to get half the praise he does.

nsswimmer - i love angelina, i think she's adorable hahahahaha.

oh well, different strokes for different folks. :)

[nsswimmer]

lOL violet!! :D

[Bazza]

Yeah I kinda get where you're coming from.

Personally I am a big fan of Kevin Spacey, and think Ed Norton is amazing also.

PS: I am talking about acting here, as opposed to the original title of the thread!!

[Natasha]

Popov is sooooo my fave!

[AquaAcesSwimmer]

My coach got to coach Larson Jenson!
I think he is sooo lucky! I think he is really cute! Though I have to say I am glad that he shaved his head! That hair.....:|

[AquaAcesSwimmer]

Now that I think about it..I think that Michael Phelps is my favorite male swimmer , he is really good at one of my favorite strokes...Butterfly!!

[Natasha]

Now that I think about it..I think that Michael Phelps is my favorite male swimmer , he is really good at one of my favorite strokes...Butterfly!!

Yeah I like him too. I've heard loads if people say he's really ugly, but I think he's really cute! lol! ;) And his great talent is really attractive too!

[swimmer]

some of my (completly NON swimming friends) were saying how fit they thought phelps was the other day, and two of them are in LOVE with thorpe!!!

[Natasha]

Lol - yeah I'm really quite taken by Phelps at the moment! So it'd be Phelps, Popov and I like Hackett too ;)

[Gina]

Has anyone heard of Simon Burnett? :cool: He's a british freestyle swimmer. He made the great olympics final on the 200 free in Athens. I think he's pretty fit! :love:

[Katie]

Fishing for compliments......me? never!

Sadly I don't fall under the category of "guy swimmer" but I train with many who do. Just wanted to know if I knew any of these hot guys!!

[Swim Star]

Hey Natasha that was 1 of the reasons i was watching it! He's soooo NICE!!! i also like to watch the races aswell. x

[Gina]

Looking at the guys flexing their pecks is one of the highlights of the Olympic swimming!!! :p Jokes! But it got my non-swimming friends hooked!

[Swim Star]

Hey Gina my non-swimming friends watch the swimming because of Phelps,Thorpe,Hackett and the other nice guys!!! but i think they watch it for swimming aswell!!! xx

[mon]

It has got 2 b Michael Phelps I enjoy watching him in the olympics. He is fit n fast. In olympics i am a gb fan but i still shout on for Phelps!!!

[DRW]

If I were to nominate a "guy swimmer", it would be somebody who devoted their whole life to swimming outside the safety and comfort of a swimming pool. An example might be the German record swimmer Otto Kemmerich, who swam in 1927 from Westerland on the island of Heligoland to List on the island of Sylt. After a lifetime of personal open-water swimming records, he died in 1952 attempting another record trial in the North Sea at the age of 66.

BMYou have pictures to gawp at?? Breaststrokemum that is so sad.

Hmmmm, thinking about it, perhaps my bendy dolly range needs some revamping. I am considering including some liquid PVC so this can be injected into their bellies to reflect increasing waistlines when the subjects retire from swimming. Perhaps for longevity I also need to think about a pair of tweezers to pluck out temple hair for the guys.

I wonder if this will affect sales? :clear:

[Breaststrokemum]

You have pictures to gawp at?? Breaststrokemum that is so sad.

It's not sad! :) Just a few steps removed from pics on the wall when we were kids! At least this way I can gawp in private without sarcy comments about my taste in men!

Today was the first time I looked at them since I was sent them by a friend a couple of months ago.

[LAZy]

find it so sad that I can't think of any - bet you I'll be looking hard at Sheffield - just so as I can join in this thread though you understand.

[Dave_G]

Without a doubt, Lewis Gordon Pugh, the environmentalist who recently swam in the Arctic Ocean wearing only a pair of speedos. Apart from the fact that I agree with his concerns about our planet, I freely have the greatest respect for anyone who has the raw courage needed to perform such a feat. I, personally, am too much of a coward even to swim in open water in this country in winter, without a wetsuit, although there are many that do so, who have my admiration. This guy though, who last year swam the entire length of the river Thames, and who has swam in every ocean in the world, is just incredible!

Cesar Cielo is quite easy on the eyes and one to watch in the pool too. With his NCAA results a few months ago, he's a top contender in the 50 and 100 if he can master the LC racing. His 100 yard time converts to 47.4 in LCM!
