The sun might go down but that doesn’t mean the work ends.

90-year old Thomas Maine swims 9:39.56 in the 400 IM to set a new @MastersSwimming & world record!! Congrats! @swimswamnews

Next time you complain about the 400 IM, think about this guy. He LOVES the 400 IM, and it takes him almost 10 minutes to finish it. And he’s decades older than our average reader. AND he’s a world record holder!!! Wowza.

Im thinking about the swim meet yesterday. We were down the entire time. The team and the crowd never stopped the energy. Something special.

Fans are so important. Nothing like some extra support during a huge meet.

A proper reaction to the news. Wait until she finds out that you swim the 1000 and 1650 in college meets.
