McDonalds? Hopefully just for one meal? The swimmers I know don’t eat McDonalds. Each to their own I guess.

Usain Bolt ate a reported 1000 McNuggets during the 2008 Beijing Olympics – 100 per day. Look it up. He did “ok” at those games.

Meanwhile, after spending the three weeks since the much lower-key ParaTrials back with their home teams, the U.S. Paralympic swimmers will have their much shorter training camp at the USOPTC. Not quite the same experience, is it? No exotic locales, no posh chartered jets. #OneTeamLOL

U.S. Olympic trials finished on June 23rd; training camp began on July 2nd in Raleigh, N.C.; swimmers then flew to Croatia on the 11th and were there through the 22nd; from the 23rd-25th they train in Paris, with competition in the pool to begin on the 27th. Even though the U.S. Paralympic swim trials finished on June 29th, the Paralympics don’t start until two days before the end of August. According to this schedule, training camp for U.S. Paralympic swimmers shouldn’t start until early August. Where have the dates and locations of Paralympic training camp been announced?

Gorgeous scenery. Fashion models in gorgeous outfits and team wear. First class flying. What’s not to like. Loving the romance brewing between KD and RS. I hope they get married ❤️❤️❤️

Most of the pictures felt like there was a Perfume Brand photo shoot or something similar . Fun fun . The most laidback of them all must be Guiliano – no pressure , just preparing for the Most anticipated Relay of them all for Saturday . Can’ wait to see him rip a 46 rolling start
