What goes around comes around, just like a flip turn.
Oxygen is overrated.
We swim because we are too sexy for a sport that requires clothes.
Breaststroke is an athletic event; butterfly is a political statement. ~Paul Tsongas
It's been told that swimming is a wimp sport, but I don't see it. We don't get timeouts, in the middle of a race we can't stop and catch our breath, we can't roll on our stomachs and lie there, and we can't ask for a substitution. ~Dusty Hicks
"u kno ur a swimmer when:
~u automatically wake up at 5:30 even when u dont hav practice
~u can add,subtract,multiply,and divide any number that is a multiple of 25 without thinking
~u havent shaved in a week because u havent taken a shower in that long
~ur biggest fear is what ur coach will say if u missed a practice
~ u cant smell the chlorine anymore
~ u r so exhausted u forget the meaning of sleep
~ when u kno the feeling of out touching someone in finals who beat u in prelims
~ u kno wat a fitness test is and do them regularly
~ u kno that hearing the starting gun and diving off the blocks is the best feeling in the world
~ u hav 2 swim 2 live

For myself, losing is not coming second. It's getting out of the water knowing you could have done better. For myself, I have won every race I've been in. - Ian Thorpe
“Swimming is normal for me. I'm relaxed. I'm comfortable, and I know my surroundings. It's my home.”
