Swiming

[andy55]

Hello to all to you. Spring is here in Austria and it is time for me to lose weight, or should I better say: to slim down.

And I like to go for a swim, sometimes one or two twice a week.

But now to my question: I read in a magazine the following sentence:

I`m also worried about catching something nasty, like`s athlete´s foot.

What does this sentence mean?

Ich befürchte einen athletischen Fuss zu bekommen.

I therfore thank you in advance:lol:

What does this sentence mean?

Ich befürchte einen athletischen Fuss zu bekommen. -> Ja, offenbar gibt es diesen Ausdruck im Medizinischen, für uns Normalos bedeutet er schlicht und einfach: Fußpilz! (Obwohl Enten sowas natürlich gänzlich fremd ist...)

Thanks in advance:lol:
