Hello from Arizona

Hey. I’m Blake. Been here a while as a lurker but never really got around to posting until now. I’m 32, live in Phoenix and I’m an avid swimmer. I swim laps regularly to stay in shape and used to be on the swim and diving team in school. I prefer speedos for the freedom of movement and how quick they dry. Plus the just feel better. I prefer the plain dark colors like black or dark blue or some of the spliced designs with dark purple or maroon.

I want to post a picture for the forum but keep having trouble uploading or embedding my photo. Always getting an error message. Is there an easier way to add a photo?

Nice to have you on the forum, Blake!

Regarding pictures, I know that the size limit on the website is no more than 800 pixels wide, so maybe all you need to do is give some pictures a size adjustment.

Thanks. I will try resizing the pictures then.

Hey Blake. I recommend Irfanview software. Older, basic style interface--easy, once you get used to it. You can just specify the width as above.

Hey Blake! Good to have you on here!

I’m from Pennsylvania

I upload my pictures using the Tapatalk app. It will resize them automatically.

Hope that helps!

Hi Blake, Welcome! It's great to have other swimmers on here! I'm in the pool 2-3 times a week.

Regarding pic's, most pc's/Mac's have functions to downsize your pics without 3rd party resources. Good luck!
