As a swimmer myself, I constantly get asked questions about why it's a sport. It's a lot harder than it looks, especially if you get water up your nose/into your goggles during a race. :/
I've been swimming for the past 10 years of my life and it's the most rewarding sport I've ever done and I've never been in better shape! We had a couple of football players and wrestlers try out our men's team and they all quit within the first week...
THANK YOU! Someone finally realizes what a physically and mentally intense sport swimming is! Nobody gets it, they just make fun of my one-piece and goggle tan lines!
I think swimming IS an intense sport and everyone I talk to gives it easily the most credit out of all the Olympic sports. Never met anyone who thought it was stupid.

well its partly because they have built their muscles into a bad way for swimming
