Do you watch swimming events/competitions when they are on TV?

Swimming is one of the only sports I watch on television (as well as ice skating). I find it an exciting sport which Australia excels at.

I love the looks on the competitor's faces when they win a race, and I love watching the Australian relay teams - it, together with the diving, is a fascinating sport somehow.

I am not one who watches any sport normally but also enjoy the winter Olympics and skiing.

I only watch during the Olympics. I'm more of a field sport kind of person.

I might if I am watching TV at the time when it is on. I certainly wouldn't go out of my way to do so. I am not much of a sports viewer, despite being very proud of our Australian swimming team. I tend to hear the results on the news or the internet rather than watch it myself.

I do, which is very weird as I am terrifed of water, can't swim and hate the sight of pools and the ocean. I find watching the swimming at the Olympics very exciting. Like Finy, I also love the ice skating.

LOL!

I prefer ice-skating and gymnastics. I'd like to see more of both on the telly.

Yes, Vee, I also love the ice-skating, which I could watch all day, if it was being shown all day!

Sure did!

Australia has produced some Amazzzing swimmers, and watching them win is heart warming.Very exciting, with pride too.

I prefer to watch diving than swimming.I rarely watch sporting events on TV but if they seem to be really exciting at any time,I shall end up glued to the set!!! Like Finy, I do truly enjoy ice skating as it seems to come across as more of an elegant art form than a sport!! In the same vein I also enjoy Gymnastics. I am so unco-ordinated at any time, that I am simply fascinated by these 'sports'!!! Amazing!

I love watching during the Olympics, not so much the other swimming meets.

I am crazy for most Olympic sports. We tried to get tickets to the swimming when the Sydney Olympics were on, but unfortunately that didn't happen. We were lucky enough to see a few other good sports.

by BritishStorm

Yes. We enjoy the competition particularly when one of our own places. I had a workmate whose son competes at a high standard and I've followed his achievements as well as it's a thrill when he places knowing the sacrifices both competitor and family have made..

sometimes I watch swimming, but I wouldn;t watch it all day.

by Diana Nairn

I will, if there's nothing else on the tv at the same time, that I'd rather watch.

I've just watched the swimming at the Q'ld Commonwealth Games. Wonderful!
