I am relatively new to this forum – loving it by the way.

I see several references to “swam the Tiber.” What does that mean?😊

Blessings,
Paula
 
It’s a way of saying they converted. The Tiber River is in Rome. When a person puts something like “Tiber Swim Team 2008” it means that’s the year they came into the church. It kinds makes me wish I was a convert (or revert).😃
 
That makes perfect sense. Thanks for explaining. I am a revert so I think I’ll put that in my signature 🙂

Blessings,
paula

Well, we are all converts and reverts, even if we are cradle Catholics. it’s aconstant process. So, go ahead…Now, my mother raised me Catholic from the time I was born (1956) but my father wouldn’t allow his children to be baptized until 1962. So, my guess I am Tiber Swim Team, Junior Division, 1962.😉

I didn’t get that before. Now I can add it to mine. I swam the Tiber in 1995. 🙂
 
This will be my first Easter as a true Catholic!

swam Tiber in 07, still all wet 😉
 
I’ll be able to add this to my signature Saturday night! I rarely get excited about anything, but this has really got me lit up! 😃
 
My wife and I swam it in 1998 and haven’t looked back. We both received the “grand slam” at the Easter Vigil (Baptism, Eucharist, and Confirmation)
 
I am a revert – grew up Catholic but fell away off and on until I decided two years ago to come back fulltime and have loved every minute of it. I almost wish I could go through the whole process again because you’re on such a spiritual high. It’s hard to keep that level of high up consistently.
