@CapeCodder:

For sheer championships, it has to be Phelps, however all of these guys are incredibly talented and agile in the water!

i agree. although i voted for Popov  ;D

I've got an idea: why don't we determine who is the best of the best of our champions? 
Please take your time to make the voting, it'll be interesting

glad to be of service!

PS: i like picture no. 3 the most

and more again :):

First of all, I would like to say
 :ok1:

I am called Geographer, but friends usually call me Geo (it's faster to write  ;D) and this here place is a little forum corner entirely dedicated to a sport people usually call swimming. But not just swimming itself: synchronized swimming, diving, synchronized diving, water polo, canoeing… in one word - everything wich implies an activity on and/or under the water (besides bathing of course  ;D).

Here you can post as much material as you like, regarding to the above mentioned sports: info on famous people involved in swimming, info on various swim-sports events or any news you might consider to be interesting for us swim-lovers, maybe some personal stories, personal opinions, comments (why not?), and - most of all - pictures!  ;D And I would greately appreciate if every single one of you would make a reply (even the smallest one) on the topic you had just read.

But remember: whatever you post in this board, you have to follow some basic rules. Frankly, the main rules in here are the same ones as in every forum thread or on the whole GayTorrent.ru site. If for some reasons you have forgotten them, let me remind you some of them:

• don't post material not related to our forum topic

• when writing your posts or replies, try to respect other people's opinions

• always remember that a good behaviour and a decent language are highly appreciated

• active hyperlinks which lead outside GayTorrent.ru are not allowed, so when you want to write a link, please use the following "trick": just write the link but replace the http:// with hxxp://

• when uploading a picture, it is preferably that you use the "Attach" feature from the "Additional Options" when creating your post or you can use our BitBucket as a space where you can use an image-link
