She’s clearly in a league of her own! Others swimmers should be scared of her. Bravo Summer! Can’t wait to see you getting your first Olympic gold medal! 🥇

She's so smooth in the water. Looks effortless.

Everybody is talking about her perfect technique but no one is talking about her unbelievable strength and stamina!

This is one gold medal you Canadians can bank on in Paris. No one will get close to her.

I love how relaxed she seems to be swimming, yet she broke her own record. 💪🏽

I'm so excited to se her swim this summer for the Olympics.

Watching a one-in-a-million athlete! Wow!. Reminds me of "Secretariat" who was unbeatable. ( Not comparing Ms. MsIntosh to a horse, but the comparison is meant to illuminate the RARITY of special athletes.)

Summer’s butterfly should be the textbook example for everyone learning the stroke.

Summer lives and trains in Florida. So I guess the Americans can claim some credit for her success as well.
