Human Factors; Weather
I was cleared to land on a straight-in approach for Runway 24. I was number 2 behind a B737. ATC did caution regarding possible wake turbulence. Winds reported from 180 at 9 knots. I had full flaps and floated somewhat during the landing. As I touched down; the aircraft began to veer quickly to the left; causing the aircraft to skid off the runway across the grass. I did not hit any airport lights; markings; etc. I taxied to the FBO to park the aircraft. Upon post flight inspection; I did not see any damage to the aircraft. Not sure what really caused the problem; other than my approach was high; and the speed was a little fast. Possible I might have had my foot on the left brake; but not certain.
C182 pilot reports loosing control at touchdown and swerving off the runway. No damage or injuries occur and the aircraft is taxied to the FBO.
