Monday Fun Day: Guess Your Favorite Swimmer’s Furry Friend

Ask any swimmer what keeps them grinding day after day and they are sure to mention family, friends, and an overall solid support structure.  For many elites, this means having a furry friend (or two, or three!) at home to hear their training woes, give them licks of love and sleep by their side to do it all again tomorrow.

Some of these animal side-kicks have had their pictures make it onto social media for fans to see, but how closely have you been paying attention?  Take a look below and see if you can match up the pictured pet to its rightful owner….c’mon, we even gave you clues!  Leave your guesses in the comments.

1.”There is no where for me to sleep in this house! My owner just brought home her 60th international championships medal…where am I supposed to bury all of these things?”

2. “Who looks better in a flowered swim cap – me or my owner?”

3. “I thought he picked out that diamond ring for ME….not HER!”

4.  “Ahhh, sleeping the day away in the cool Ann Arbor breeze…..”

5. “We’re not in Kansas anymore.”

6. “Colorado, then California, then Colorado….make up your mind, lady.”

7. “How’s this for the ‘Dogs of Charlotte’ calendar?”

8. “I live not too far from #7, but my owner and I are waaaaaayyyy prettier.”

9. “Whoa…..we just traveled half-way around the world to our new training home?  I’m hangry!”

10. “I’ll always be a Gator-boy.”
