ABOUT ANDREW LARDIERI
“I always had a deep love for pools and swimming. Currently, I swim at the Mt. Laurel YMCA for fun and am a huge supporter and fan of their competitive swim team MLY Phoenix. Through Phoenix and YouTube, I have been introduced to many well know swimming websites like SwimSwam, USA Swimming, Swimming World Magazine etc. Thanks to Instagram I have also been able to follow many well-known swimmers who are present on SwimSwam.
“Outside of swimming, my other interests include: horse racing, mechanical music, music in general, plane spotting, and anything to do with Scotland.”
Kudos to Andrew for a terrific song and wonderful contribution to this delightful site. Andrew you are a true fan of swimming and a joy to the world!!
Nice!
Awesome jingle. LOVE it.
Andrew this blows me away!!! Your “A Swimmer’s 12 Days of Christmas” is so original and so well researched and empathetic, holy cannoli. If I were a swimmer, I would bring you on the team even just to keep you writing for us, this is AWESOME!!! I bet the swimmer’s enjoyed it- it has a lot of humor too 🙂 they would appreciate the “5 days of taper”!!!! Ha ha, yes!! this is genius
Catchy jingle! I’m sure all my swimmer friends can appreciate this.
