Grammar
Neither...nor
Please help me to work out this sentence:
* I don't go swimming in the winter. I don't go skiing in the summer, either.
(Combine using "neither...nor")
--> 1. I neither go swimming in the winter nor go skiing in the summer.
2. I neither go swimming in the winter nor skiing in the summer.
3. I go neither swimming in the winter nor skiing in the summer.
Which one is most correct? Can we reduce "go" in the phrase "go skiing" like in the answer 2?
* I don't go swimming in the winter. I don't go skiing in the summer, either.

They are all possible. 'Go' can be omitted when it serves the same grammatical function as in your sentences; it cannot be omitted in such as this: I want to either go swimming or go out with my boyfriend.
