Schwimmen / Swimming Zitate auf Englisch

Zitat des Tages über Schwimmen / Swimming:

I was a bit of a wild boy - always swimming and exploring the mountains. Nobu Matsuhisa

I walked away from the sport for 17 years, then started swimming again recently in a master's program.

Mark Spitz

I hate the gym, so I try to diversify my workouts with swimming and basketball. Indoors, it's less boring than running. I do find that diet is key. I eat lots of lean protein, no soda, no fast food or fried foods, and a lot of water. But I love food and often cook.

Mike Colter

Swimming is great because there are levels of goals. First, when I was four, it was making it to the other end and overcoming the fear of standing up in front of everybody at a swim meet because I was such a shy kid.

Summer Sanders

Remember to do the things you enjoy away from swimming, regularly.

Ian Thorpe

I can't control life for my grandchildren, so how could I control a story? Sometimes I try to force something, and after working and working on that chapter, I realise that I am swimming against the current. I will never get there. So I have to let go of whatever previous idea I had about it and let the characters decide.

Isabel Allende

There is no more reason to pay for private education than there is to pay for a private swimming pool for those who do not use public facilities.

Albert Shanker

I never really participated in specific sports or anything, but once I hit 40, I started to get a little bit more active and began swimming more.

Shigeru Miyamoto

I never saw film stars at home. We had no maid, no cook, no swimming pool.

Natalie Wood

Just do some kind of workout. Doesn't matter if it's going for a walk around the block, going for a jog, doing some calisthenics, lifting weights, going to a pool and swimming - you name it. But do something that gets your blood flowing and gets your mind in the game.

Jocko Willink

When I was in my 20s, I thought that being known for 'Swimming Pool' was kind of a burden. Like, 'OK, everyone thinks I am this tanned bimbo,' and I was having problems coping with that image.

Ludivine Sagnier

I think swimming's hard because I can't float.

Erinn Smart

I was into sports and swimming as a kid and didn't spend a whole lot of time sitting down. I was a gymnast.

Mads Mikkelsen

I've enjoyed training again, I've enjoyed pushing myself in the pool and I'll keep on swimming until I feel I cannot get any more out of myself.

Ian Thorpe

The swimming community is really conservative. I don't know why, because we're in no clothing whatsoever.

Amanda Beard

I like cycling and swimming and walking everywhere. I'm not going to the gym. I like being outside rather than inside a room.

Anna Ewers

I can't imagine what I would be doing if I wasn't swimming. It is what I want to do now; it is what I want to do in the foreseeable future, and that is what I'm focusing on.

Cate Campbell

When you are doing endurance swimming you just need to take in as many carbs as possible to put on as much weight as you can. Basically you can eat whatever you want, which can be quite fun. Everything is guilt-free.

David Walliams

I'd go to swim practice, put my face in the water, and I didn't have to talk to anybody. Swimming was like my escape, but it was also like this huge prison because I felt like I had to swim up to people's standards.

Amanda Beard

Even in high school, I'd tell my mom I was sick of swimming and wanted to try to play golf. She wasn't too happy. She'd say, 'Think about this.' And I'd always end up getting back in the pool.

Michael Phelps

What does kissing really mean to me? To me, if you feel, when you kiss a girl, that certain feeling of all those dolphins, like, swimming through your blood stream, and you get those good tingles inside your stomach, I don't think there's any better feeling.

Corey Haim

No one ever watched competitive swimming.

Peter O'Toole

Swimming isn't everything, winning is.

Mark Spitz

I want to continue the sport of swimming. I'm not going to give up until I think it's reached where I want it to go.

Michael Phelps

You obviously don't really forget how to play the old songs; you just don't have to spend so much time convincing yourself that you remember them. Way less mental energy is spent swimming around in lyrics you've already written and chords you've already played.

Jeff Tweedy

I love 'Splash!' and 'Take Me Out.' Not that I'd ever do 'Splash!' It's the parading on British TV in a swimming costume I couldn't handle.

Maxine Peake

Believe in yourself, not only in swimming, but in life itself. You always have to have fun. You have to have an open mind. If you're not enjoying it, don't do it. Life's too short.

Debbie Meyer

Aaah, summer - that long anticipated stretch of lazy, lingering days, free of responsibility and rife with possibility. It's a time to hunt for insects, master handstands, practice swimming strokes, conquer trees, explore nooks and crannies, and make new friends.

Darell Hammond

Swimming is a life-saving skill, so just the fact that the sport that I love can give so much back to other people - and inspire them to join something that they never thought they could do or go after their dreams - is something that is really special to me.

Simone Manuel

I try to separate my personal life from swimming.

Michael Phelps

Traveling to swimming meets took me beyond my small-town existence, gave me a hint of the exciting world outside of my own home.

Esther Williams

I think I was a good student, because I jumped over a school. My main interest was basically history and literature. Sports were basically basketball and swimming at a pool. I was so happy.

Shimon Peres

I've always liked pop music. There was a bit of a misunderstanding with the avant-garde rock scene, because I think I was sort of swimming the wrong way, really.

Robert Wyatt

I tore up my knee break dancing. I have no idea how that happened. Apparently these legs are meant for swimming, but not dancing. I was watching an MTV video, thinking, 'I can do this.' Definitely not. I heard a pop. I sat down and it blew up like a watermelon. I had to go to the hospital and get surgery.

Ryan Lochte

This is my 20th year in the sport. I've known swimming and that's it. I don't want to swim past age 30; if I continue after this Olympics, and come back in 2016, I'll be 31. I'm looking forward to being able to see the other side of the fence.

Michael Phelps

I'm just a simple guy swimming in a sea of sharks.

Don Johnson

When you're young, you don't really know quite what you're aiming at. You're very impulsive and acting on impulse, which is very important and valuable. But you're kind of swimming in a blind sea. When you get older, you have more of a sense of direction.

Sinead O'Connor
