Speaking of conference titles… remember when Ellen Walshe won the SEC 400 IM and 100 fly back-to-back?

Kaylee McKeown has broken the Victorian All-Comers 200m Backstroke record, which has stood since the mid 2000s. 🏊♀️ 👏
Her time was faster than her Gold winning efforts in #Tokyo2020 – and also the seventh-fastest time in the history of women’s 200m backstroke. 😱 pic.twitter.com/q5Kf2isFVO

A tragedy in two parts.
Check back in next week to check out what the Twitter swimmingverse is up to!
Why does it seem like the heavily inked up swimmers are always sprinters? Maybe too much time out of the water to let the skin heal for distance folk?
Tattoos don’t look as cool on the lean, unimpressive muscles of distance swimmers.
#10 should definitely be the #1 tweet. Ethan Gogulski is a legend!
I don’t think Mona McSharry won the 400 IM and 100 fly.
