We’re back with swimming’s TopTenTweets presented by Arena, where we round up the best of the swimming Twitterverse. From the only acceptable reason to talk during a kick set, to an #accurate comic, scroll to see what made the cut!

Any time a swimmer gets recognized in public is a win for us all.

If Connor’s plan was to go full “Moneyball” on the field… kudos. Though having Katie Ledecky helps a little too, I guess.

For the first time in 6 YEARS, I went a best time in my 200 Fly. Due to surgeries, mental health, & other personal issues I haven’t had a healthy season since summer of 2013. If you’re frustrated, don’t give up because it’s beyond worth it!!!#dreambig @USASwimming @UGASwimDive

Paul Biedermann might have done it too, maybe only with the suit in the 800/1500 tho
am i wrong or why the downvote?
Park
Sun Yang did it as well, I’m not sure about Hackett, but Thorpe also may have done it.
Ous Mellouli did it.
As noted below, Park also did it.
Peter Vanderkay likely did too – haven’t found his 100 though.
Thorpe probably did it at 16
Ders was 20 point back in the day.
Phelps changed everything
Hackett did it with a flying start in the 100, not sure about his time on a flat start though.
I’m sure Dean Farris could do it
Sun Yang did it much better than Zane Grothe, with a little help though 😉
