Swimming, thank you for allowing me to have the best profession in the world for the greatest sport in the world. @swimswamnews @CoachRowan

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.

Who needs pump up music when you can just levitate before the big race and psych out the competition?

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!
