If Auburn “isn’t a training team” and trains this hard, we’re pumped to see them race.

Man vs. The World (or at least an equally-daunting early morning practice).

Let’s hope Ryan remembered to circle swim in reverse before he lapped the locals.

When the main set is 15x200s and you just have to sit and regret all the food you ate over the weekend pic.twitter.com/15N44OJPcN

Technically from last week, this was RT’d by Olympian Shannon Vreeland on Monday and is a little too accurate.

Wear a helmet! If I hadn't been, I would have broken more than just my collarbone.
P.S.-anyone want to buy a moped? It still runs (barely) 😅— Gunnar Bentz (@TheGunnyBunny) October 7, 2017
Don’t be like Gunnar and crash your moped. Do be like Gunnar and wear a helmet. Do picture 6′ 5″ Gunnar on a moped.

Making a swim-related username is practically a swimming rite of passage. Young Connor had big dreams and wasn’t afraid to show it — we’re sure he’d be pleased with an Olympic silver.
Connor Jaeger will always be a boss. Miss watching him race.
I suspect Lochte will pay a visit to the nearby town of Nimbin.
That’s great the NCAA has sanctioned Crossfit!
Seriously, what other collegiate sport emphasizes auxiliary training more than the primary sport? I will say I’m really enjoying watching Twitter accounts of Olympic power lifters swimming so they can lift heavier.
Powerlifting isn’t in the Olympics
^^This is correct. Using technical terminology, the Olympics do “weightlifting” versus “powerlifting.” This may vary from the colloquial uses at your local gym.
crossfit sucks
Ryan lochte in Australia???
Byron bay awesome.
In reference to number 7, if I was that girl who was carrying that med ball and people were getting in my way. I’d lose it
*throws the ball at the people in her way*
