We ain’t super human. Just regular people who take the time and effort to learn how to do extraordinary things https://t.co/cjLMlSKTQE

Ok yeah, superhuman isn’t quite the right word; but you know that’s a BRICK in Antonio Brown’s hands, right??

I take a 14 hour plane ride sabbatical from the swimming world and WHAT!!! A man has broken 57 in the 100 BR, Horton has practically started a war with China, the US Men forgot how to swim the 200 FR AND Ledecky/Sjostrom were beaten? God I love this sport 🏊 @swimswamnews

@swimiller , these guys LOVE your vlogs and love watching you swim!! Most of all, your vlog has inspired them to focus on the right things and they love watching you do what you do. You’re an inspiration for so many up and coming younger swimmers and we’re grateful for you! pic.twitter.com/ZnDnElOWpU

How dare they.

🤔
25k Swim = about 15.5 miles
Distance between bases = 90ft
1 home run = 360ft ‘run’
About 14 home runs = 1mile
Therefore it would take roughly 227 home runs of “running” to equal the same distance as this single swimming event.
Swimming isn’t A sport sir, it’s THE sport. https://t.co/9EGiucIjKh— Dave Rollins (@Coach_Rollins) July 20, 2019

*swims 25k today
I don’t think so ma dude https://t.co/79AFsLCnfs— Erica Sullivan 🌈 (@erica_sully) July 19, 2019
Oh, and can we add that she is a teenager, in the top five in the world in the 1500, and swam this race – her first 25K – at the world’s biggest swimming event outside of the Olympics? This thread got big. Lots of blue checkmarks in that man’s mentions.

This idea that he can paddle around in a backyard pool therefore swimming is easy is dumb.
Playing any sport (as in just participating) is easy. Although marathon swimming is super dangerous.
The hard part is doing it well.
Swimmer tries to hit a baseball: misses ball
Baseball player tries to swim 25k: drowns
Drowns trying a 1K, especially in the Pacific
*misses ball unless you’re Grant Shoults
Can everyone with a twitter account please go roast that Hal guy? That’s too much ignorance in one person.
I can promise u it hasn’t stopped. My twitter notifications haven’t stopped exploding since.
SAME.
HI Erica,
I’m a big fan of yours after watching your 1500 race in Clovis: my jaw was hanging open from the first 50 onward. Congrats on your 25K swim–very well done!
He’s gotten it pretty good. I think the message has come across lol.
Just so nobody looks silly: he actually was a pretty good baseball player, so whatever clapbacks you have, don’t throw “benchwarmer” at him lol.
God that dude made me cringe….
