i’ve been retired from swimming for an entire year why am I even remotely interested in the new fastskins coming out?

Over 15 years since my last swim practice. I quit yesterday after 4600 yards. Wondered how I made it through 10,000 yd practices as a kid?!? Exhausted yesterday. Sore today 😂. Can we get weekday rain and weekend sun so I can stop suffering through indoor workouts? I miss hiking! pic.twitter.com/nNQcJyomnK

4,600 yards after a 15-year break is extremely good, IMO.

I was surprised to see @katieledecky sitting behind me, but not as surprised as she was to find a giant cutout of her face next to her. #gostanford pic.twitter.com/LeZ4YX0oh3

Does Stanford just bring cutouts of all its Olympians to intimidate other teams? If so, seems legit.
