Swimming Memes

coachoftheyearmovie asked: Hi! I'm contacting you on behalf of the upcoming feature film COACH OF THE YEAR- An independent, kid-friendly sports comedy based on the inspiring true story of a rag tag swim team that tries to win a state championship...without a pool to practice in. Director/swim coach Dave Stott hopes that with this film we will inspire kids all over the country to learn to swim safely. This is a FOR swimmers BY swimmers movie and we'd really appreciate it if you would promote it on your blog. Thanks!

Everyone read this and follow these guys =) 

To everyone that wonders if they should swim:

I am 20. 4 years ago, at 16, my 50m free time was a 42 seconds. No I’m not kidding. 4 years ago, swimming was just something I did for fun. 

Two years ago, I was lucky enough to start swimming Varsity at a University. That October, I got my first Nationals cut. This season, I got 5 Nationals cuts, and qualified to swim at the Olympic Trials.

Not only did I get to swim at the Olympic Trials, I qualified to the B Final in the 100m freestyle. It was the best experience of my life and I love every second of swimming. The hard practices, the dryland we hate, my team… everything. 

If you had told me 4 years ago that I would be swimming at the Olympic Trials and qualified to the B final in one race, I wouldn’t have thought it was possible. But with a lot of hard work, sacrifice, and dedication, I did what I never thought I could do. 

So just shut up, and swim.  

Anyone else keep crying when they see new Olympians make the team?

I must not be the only one?

Championship Season!

All of the Canadian Age-Groupers have there championship season, and I believe that the USA is in their long course/champ season, so best of luck to everyone competing in these next couple weeks! 

I’ll be at the Canada Cup in Montreal in July, as well as Sr. Nationals! If anyone is going to be at either of these, feel free to inbox me and I will come find you! =) 

The problems with having a relationship with your sport

abjecti0n asked: Hey! My name's Sam, and I'm about to start a video series about how to improve each of the four competitive strokes, starts, turns, and any other components of swimming that I can think of. Do you have any tips or tricks that you think I should include in my videos? Thank you so much!

For freestyle: do not drop your hand and THEN pull. Reach, pull. Not reach, drop, pull. 

Starts: Streamline.

Turns: Knees to your chin, knees together, explode off the wall.

Anonymous asked: hey would you be able to update your blog more frequently? you make awesome posts but don't seem to post them enough!!

Hello anon, perhaps you should consider submitting somethings! It’s really hard to maintain a blog when I only get one submission every month.
