Description
, please
These are the reasons why swimming is the best sport ever:
- It’s very complete; you exercise more muscles as with any other sport
- When you’ve done 2000-3000m and get out of the pool it feels like heaven…
- While swimming you get deep in touch with your mind and body . You’re very conscious of and feel very close to yourself (It may sound weird, but that’s how I feel).
- The only thing you hear it your breathing, the water all around you and, occasionally, the beating of your heart.
- You get to meet a lot of really hot (and nice) guys
And this is why I had to draw this pic. I’d been toying with the idea of doing something related to swimming and I finally got down to it.
Hope you guys like it. I’d love to read any kind of feedback you’d want to give me and, please, if you fave it, tell me why you’ve done so. I’m eager to improve!

Your like totally reading my mind. If there were ever a sports pyramid swimming should be on top although us swimmers would prefer the bottom which is closest to the water
I love your interpretation of swimming, your really get in touch with yourself, it's like body and mind are flowing in the water. I just love that "ache" you get after you did a good swim it feels wonderful. I love hearing my breathing underwater and once I heard my heartbeat
I do get to meet a lot of hot and very nice girls
I have a group it's called dA Water Sports, here's the link:

How cool!! It's so hard to find someone who's really into swimming outside of the pool 
Anyway, I'm so glad you like(d) this. And I totally joined your DA group. I hope you "get" many other members!
Peace.
PD. Nice wordplay with the top and bottom thing

I glad your in the group it's good to have you here. I'm in the same situation as you I'm in college and I haven't swim as much as I used to but the college swim team lets me swim in the pool since there my friends and the coach as well.

Si quieres hablamos español

Bueno, pues ahora resulta que hablas español y todo... 
La casualidad es que hoy mismo por la tarde estive hablando con un amigo que sí que entrena regularmente y me estuve informando de cómo puedo hacerme "socia" de la piscina a la que va él, aunque ya no sea parte de ningún equipo ni nada, aunque ya veo que tú sí.
Por curiosidad, qué es lo que estudias? Y dónde?

Te pregunto lo mismo, que estudias? Y donde?

que FUERTE!! Yo tambien estoy estudiando medicina, solo que en la Universidad de Friburgo, Alemania, aunque soy española (Ya, no hace falta que me nombres lo bien que estuvimos en el mundial de futbol/socker 
Hace como tres años estuve en Republica Dominicana con mi familia. Pasamos de largo por Santo Domingo. Un pais precioso--
Tu vida suena muy interesante. Con eso de ser americano pero estar viviendo "en la tierra natal de tus padres". Me pregunto como te habra sentado eso de irte de los EEUU. A mi me encantaria especializame ahi. Pero no sigo, que te voy a acabar contando la historia de mi vida xD
Que coincidencia ^^

Cuando preguntas en que curso estoy me imagino que te refieres a semestre, si es haci estoy en el 6to semestre docente (en total son 11 semestres y el año de internado)
Si este pais es una maravilla en medio del Caribe
Bueno yo al principio fue muy chocante el cambio de escolaridad, idiomas, y cultura en general. Yo sabia hablar bien el español pero no sabia escribirlo ni leerlo muy bien y casi me perjudica gravemente en mis estudios. Aunque ya sabia de la cultura de mis padres nunca habia vivido en ella y el cambio cultural fue fuerte. Al principio no me gusto el cambio hasta que lentamente me acostumbre y empese a ver lo positivo y lo bueno que ofrese este pais, hasta que me gusto (como ahora
Ahora te toca a ti
En que semestre estas? Como te sentiste en el cambio de España a Alemania? Cursas en aleman? Si es si, desde cuando sabes el idioma? En que quieres especializarte?

Hay histologia ya yo termine con esa materia en este semestre y me encanto. Muchos dicen que es dificil pero para mi es solo dedicarle su tiempo y es muy bonita esa materia solo tienes que encontrale el lado para sentirte comoda con ella
Espero que vayas estudiar mas que estar aqui en

Ah, vale. Aquí tambien va por semestres y tambien son 11 + el año de internado, pero como en España por cursos, pense que en RD tambien. Impresionante! En 6to, ya?
Me parece muy... no se, maduro y valiente por tu parte el haberte adaptado tan bien y estar contento con el cambio. Tiene que haber sido duro, pero es genial que estes contento y hayas aprendido a apreciat tu nueva vida y eso
Yo es que fui a un colegio aleman en mi isla e hice la prueba de acceso universitaria alemana. Ademas la calidad educativa en Alemania por ahora es bastante superior a la Española. Habia que aprovechar la oportunidad y la ventaja de saber el idioma (o sea, que si, se Aleman
Habia pensado en, no se, obstetricia o neurologia/neurocirugia... Pero hay tantas cosas interesantes... Todavia no se ni siquiera si quiero ser medico o dedicarme a la investigacion. Y tu??

Wow que bien suena eso, a mi me gusta mucho la oncologia, me encanta esa rama ya que es tan humana y dedicatoria hacia darle mas oportunidad de vida a las personas con cancer en especial los niños.
Me encantaria visitar a Europa en un futuro no muy lejano, la historia, la arquitectura la gran diversidad de cultura, me facina.

Okay, haha I know I've been a swimmer too long (16th year on a team) when I looked at the bubbles forming his *fin* and though: "is that an upside down Tyr logo?"
Great pic though

wow, hahaha, my idea didn't get so far as to promote any brand of anything but it's a funny tought xD At least you noticed the fin! Nobody here has mentioned it so far, congratulations!!

I'm not much of a swimmer, but when I do swim, I know exactly what you mean. ^^ It's very.. centering, indeed.
Wonderful photoshop work of the water. The reflection of light on water looks really nice.

It's a great sport, very inspiring
Thank you for your comment. Actually I wasn't very happy with how the water turned out so your words reassured me. Thanks for the fav, too!

I don't really play sports competetively, but I love watching them. I usually stick to things like swimming, racketball, and running.
And you're quite welcome. Bah, water is difficult to render.

I see. But do you happen to be watching the soccer worldcup? It's being really exciting. Some of the supposedly greatest national teams of the world are losing to others no one would've thought would make it to the the round prior to the quarterfinals!

Omigosh, yes!! I was so shocked to see the U.S. still hadn't been eliminated. I mean, I thought England was gonna blow us outta the water (er, the grass? LOL) that first game. That last game, last goal in the last three minutes was nuts. xD;
Have you been watching the College World Series lately? I'm rooting for the finals to be TCU vs. South Carolina... I'd be happy with EITHER of those teams winning and taking gold. I guess I just don't want Oklahoma Sooners to win. 
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I KNOW!! But I'm so happy they got through! I wouldn't have wanted England to win (Don't know why I have this irrational dislike of them xD) It'd be awesome and so unexpected if the USA actually won the world cup! (As long as my country is eliminated, of course hehe. Btw, we play tomorrow!!)
I'm afraid we're not much into baseball in Europe. Here's like soccer's the only sport that matter (Is it true in the US. it's considered (or was considered) a "girls sport"?). Sometimes we watch basketball mainly because of Pau Gasol, who plays for the Lakers and that's pretty much it...
But I wish you luck in the College World (Go South Carolina!! lol)

Oh no!! I'm leaving tomorrow at 9 AM! D: Mrr, maybe I'll be able to call my folks and ask them to check the scores (not that THEY'VE been watching any of the 'Cup at all.. Gr..)
Soccer was never considered a girls' sport. o-o Not sure where you heard that from, LOL. And yeah, Baseball's kind of an American thing (kinda like American football, hurhur). But I've heard it's popular in Japan (baseball is).

I'm deducing here that you're going somewhere without access to the internet... Oh-No (^^) Have fun wherever it is!
Ok, just forget I asked you that. I don't exactly remember where I got that from but I'd bet it was my english teacher who told us (she's canadian).
About baseball being popular in Japan, I can imagine. I mean, have you ever watched doraemon? They spend the whole day... Their whole lives playing baseball. You just reminded me.
