When my college swimmers whine about being beaten by tiny 15 yrs olds off season- meets …
I think they can relate to #VenusWilliams @swimswamnewsWimbledon 2019: Cori Gauff, 15, defeats Venus Williams in first round | https://t.co/Pebyxkid6z https://t.co/MAQgkShzTO

(But if they’re really getting beaten by the Coco Gauff of swimming, they should consider it an honor).

I've been retired from swimming for two and a half years, and I still have nightmares about missing my race because I can't get my tech suit on quick enough. #swammerprobs @swimswamnews

Missed races, broken goggles, ripped suits, miscounting; if you can name it, a swammer has had a nightmare about it.

7) Imagine if the USA Swimming Logo had “stars” for every World Championship won, just as the US Soccer National Team’s logo does? Would be interesting to see.
Real swim fans know that first set is actually Grant Hackett’s, not Cody Miller’s
A few thoughts…
1)Congrats Amanda Weir!!! Who has the record for most trials appearances? Dara Torres?
2)How does Chase still not have a suit deal?
3)”When my college swimmers whine about being beaten by tiny 15 yrs olds off season- meets” LOL “off season meets”? How about Nationals and OT’s
4) Re Phelps…although not shown in that video…Phelps’ underwaters improved drastically between 04 and 08. If you watch his trails from 2000 its even more dramatic.

At this point I don’t even know if Chase wants a suit deal(come on chase).
My money is he will sign with MP suits when their new suit comes out.
