Swimming’s TopTenTweets of the Week: #1 Schmitt’s Perseverance Award

#10

Like we’ve been saying since day 1: swimmers are not land creatures.

#9

Happy 20th to the defending 200 free World Champion! (And a happy birthday to Ms. O’Connor, too!)

 

#8

 

And swimmers everywhere are thankful for dedicated coaches who are up early and who travel to meets and put so much passion into their work.

#7

Thanks Mr. Agnel! The Frenchman is back; he won the 200 free at the recent French SC Championships as he looks to be returning to his dominant 2012 form.

#6

Fun > work

#5

Yep… fun is definitely > work

#4

Cate Campbell was on a tear at the Aussie SC Championships– she’s now the first woman under 51 seconds in the short course meter 100 free. That’s MOVING!

#3

#2

We’ve all been behind that person in practice.

#1

This holiday season, let’s remember that not everyone can find happiness each day, regardless of how much they may smile. Depression and other mental disorders can be devastating– Olympic Champion Allison Schmitt has been through a lot, and she spoke about it at the Golden Goggle Awards after winning the Perseverance Award (watch below).

We love you, Allison!
