[alleyesonjulio]

the algorithm recommended this by now (now is 2024!)

[Cassandraann]

Watching the 2024 Paris Olympics and can’t believe this video is 12 years old 😮, it feels like yesterday

[mikec]

Got to love the algorithms giving me this as a recommended 7(8 years later)

[kevinkasp]

Not too many lip sync videos put out there by the top of swimmers in the world. And this one is actually really good.

[andrewfayi]

Funny how i got this recommended. We are nearing the 2021 Olympics.

[ivyinabottle]

This is the most wholesome thing I’ve seen on YouTube in a while.

[kathydo]

It’s been 8 years man I remember watching this a couple years ago. These people are amazing swimmers I aspire to be like them.

[chriswhitenton]

No algorithm for me, just trying to get that 2012 nostalgia. Only the real ones remember!!!!

[jpete]

Coming back to this 12 years later. This seems so 90’s to me now. People actually seemed happy back then. 😢

[Epimpin]

The swim team dominated in 2012. They won 16 gold medals out of only 32 total events.

[Goleon]

You know you got a good team when they're all willing to collaborate on a parody video.

[kissycastaneda]

the 2016 swim team needs to re-make this

[annieoceans]

It's been 11 years since I first watched this & it still makes me smile & laugh. It was so nice to see this amazing group of Olympic swimmers having fun vs. everything being so serious with all of the stress they may have been feeling at the time.

[samimo]

omg I used to watch this video literally every day when it came out, here we are 9 years later and the nostalgia is REAL

[lucaalbertlandoni]

Watching this video now, 8 years later, in full covid era gives me goosebumps and makes me wanna cry. I hope we will soon be happy again as we were then. Ciao to everybody in the world from Italy. Love you all. Love humankind

[Freeloader_]

The airplane section was the best. People are like "What the fuck" ?

[andreadunbar]

This truly was the best call me maybe lip sync I have seen, even 7 years later. And done by the best U.S. Olympic swim team to date. Loved these guys💖

[coolgirl]

you always see these athletes all in the zone and serious when they're competing. It's nice to see a different side of them, just having fun.
