Swim Forums gets a skin refresh! (Please Review)

    I was fairly proud of the Swim Forums theme I made, but the header felt too boring and to me seemed to bring down the entire design. So after a few months, I finally got sick of it.

    I have redesigned the header, and will probably be redesigning the footer and more over time. In case you are interested, here is what the old and new header look like:

    Old Header: http://www.swimforums.net/oldsite.png

    New Header: http://www.swimforums.net/newsite.png

    Feedback, criticism, advice? :)

    Hi,
    The logo reveals that someone is really swimming
    In new header it looks like he has started the swimming
    In old header its felt that he is half way mark
    So that's only difference

    But yes good part is user cp , log out and private messages, Looks decent in new site compared to old one

    You have removed the icons for home, rules, search, contact us, etc... in new site

    My suggestion , Why dont you keep the icons but something related to swimming
    I assume 100% of your traffic / audience will be swimmers or want to be swimmers
    So icons related to swimming would nice such as accessories such as Goggles, caps, floats, rings etc

    Also one last thought in your logo SWIM FORUMS , can you have two or 3 white drops near the hand of the swimmer or somewhere around him, as if it shows , water has sprinkled
