We’re back with swimming’s TopTenTweets, where we round up the best of the swimming Twitterverse. This week, we’re taking a look back on the top 16 posts of 2018 – there was simply no way to pick just ten. But if you’re in the mood to look back on the best 500 or so tweets of the year (highly recommended), click here.
In all, one thing was clear from our 2018 bests: NCAA swimmers have Twitter on lock. So from baseball/swimming/basketball mashups to viral dances, scroll to see what made the cut!
