No one? We're getting some activity right now.

I have just made the decision to remove signatures from Swim Forums.
Most real users don't actually use signatures, and the only people that did were the signature spammers. I got tired of the extremely poor quality posts from the spammers, so I have removed signatures all together - and my members seem happy.
Either way, I'm very glad for the direction Swim Forums is going. I don't really promote it (almost all traffic it gets is organic search engine traffic), and although it is not extremely active - a few posts a day - it does get a very diverse group of members who you usually wouldn't find using online forums at all (this is why marketing a swimming forum is so hard). But if you look just a few minutes ago I was discussing swimming breathing techniques with a man who is 59 years old. It's impressive to see the diverse demographic the forum has reached.

Think I'm going to take part in this forum. I can't swim and if there was a tsurnami or something I would not survive. That's why I hate boats. xD Maybe you guys can give me some tips.

I definitely think that at least basic competence in swimming is a must for all people. I work part time as a lifeguard and I'm always glad to see a small child learning how to swim fairly well - it's good to know that if they somehow fall into water either off a boat or just trip into a pool they would be able to get out.

Small child? I'm 20 in Feb. O.o
I've had swimming training but I usually forget what I've been told.

Just an anecdote - I meant to say that its always great to see someone learn how to swim. In my case, I usually see small children learn but its important for anybody of any age to learn.
