This life is like a swimming pool. You dive into the water, but you can't see how deep it is.
Dennis Rodman
Image
Nothing is nicer than diving with your eyes open. Diving down as far as the shimmering legs of your mother and father who have just come back from swimming and now are wading to shore through the shallow water. Nothing more fun than to tickle them and to hear, muffled by the water, how they shriek because they know it will make their child happy.

Swimming is a confusing sport, because sometimes you do it for fun, and other times you do it to not die. And when I'm swimming, sometimes I'm not sure which one it is.

I should as soon think of swimming across Charles River, when I wish to go to Boston, as of reading all my books in originals, when I have them rendered for me in my mother tongue.

I just learned how to scuba dive. Id been scared to rely on one little air hose for oxygen, but swimming with all those fish is exhilarating.

I would not that death should take me asleep. I would not have him merely seize me, and only declare me to be dead, but win me, and overcome me. When I must shipwreck, I would do it in a sea, where mine impotency might have some excuse not in a sullen weedy lake, where I could not have so much as exercise for my swimming.

I said to the waitress, There's a fly swimming in my soup. She said: You've got too much soup - he should only be able to paddle.

I'm big into fashion, so after swimming, when I hang up the Speedo, I definitely want to get into fashion and start designing my own clothing line.
Ryan Lochte

Somehow I kept my head above water. I relied on the discipline, character, and strength that I had started to develop as that little girl in her first swimming pool.
Esther Williams
Image
My family is number one in my life. I'll blow off writing or just about anything to make sure I take my son to preschool or watch him at his swimming lesson.
Henry Cho

I'm so used to swimming with the piranhas. And they're really not that bad.
Brie Larson

We've greatly exaggerated the risk of sinking, without celebrating the value of swimming.

I saw my wife at a pool, flipped over her, and 14 days later we were married.

Seemingly unrelated [things] that are in fact really related, that's the stuff I like to talk about. Like dancing, language learning, swimming, three-pointers.
Tim Ferriss
Image
Well, me don't swim too tough so me don't go in the water too deep.
Bob Marley
Image
I confess my belief in the common man.... The man who is swimming against the stream knows the strength of it.... The man who is in the melee knows what blows are being struck and what blood is being drawn.
Woodrow Wilson
Image
Solving problems is a practical art, like swimming, or skiing, or playing the piano: you can learn it only by imitation and practice.
George Polya
Image
You can't put a limit on anything. The more you dream, the farther you get.
Michael Phelps

I wanted to do something nobody ever did. This goes hand in hand with my goal of changing swimming.
Michael Phelps
Image
Into the day as by dream I swim to the music of nourished meaning.
Dejan Stojanovic

Anything I do, I do with 110 percent. Right now, my biggest goal is the 2016 Olympics. My main focus is that. But after the sport of swimming-when it's all said and done-I want to get involved in fashion. I want to design my own clothing line. I'm very into fashion. It's something I really want to focus on when swimming is over.
Ryan Lochte
Image
I concentrate on preparing to swim my race and let the other swimmers think about me, not me about them.
Amanda Beard

I saw the spiders marching through the air, Swimming from tree to tree that mildewed day In latter August when the hay Came creaking to the barn. But where The wind is westerly, Where gnarled November makes the spiders fly Into the apparitions of the sky, They purpose nothing but their ease and die Urgently beating east to sunrise and the sea.
Robert Lowell

While we are here we should set goals and achieve them, make the best of things, make others feel good about themselves, and be happy with what we are and what we are doing.
