top ten reasons why my sport is better/harder/deserves bonus points

1. Swimming is a total body workout. Every muscle is involved to get you from one end of the pool to the other, and your heart rate gets super high.
2. It is performed, most often, indoors. When winter comes, my competitors will be so sad. And cold.
3. Good-looking, shirtless dudes all year.
4. When I'm done, I'm not sweaty and smelly.
5. Because I am only 1.5 yards of fabric away from naked.
6. There is always a hot tub in close proximity.
7. Less washing of the workout gear - just let it dry. This may be gross, but it is efficient.
8. No impact on the joints.
9. Have you seen swimmers' backs? Dang.
10. Two words: bikini line. That's all I'm gonna say.
