10 Things Swimmers Have Done (but won't admit)

The great thing about being a swimmer is no matter where you are in the world there is a great camaraderie between us all.

And with that camaraderie comes universal experiences that every swimmer goes though, from stressing about schoolwork, their social life to packing your swim bag in a certain way.

And we all worry or do silly things before we swim..

So lets dive into ‘ 10 things swimmers have done (but wont admit).

My school team brings doughnuts to our Friday morning practices. It's all i can think about on Friday practice.

exactly It's hard to recognize other swimmers unless they go to school with you

#11: watching swim videos before practice

When it’s Saturday morning practice at 5:30, our coach bakes muffins or buys donuts, and when it’s a teammates birthday we line up against the laneline with our kick boards and we sing happy birthday and every beat we smack the boards on the water. But the swimmer with the birthday is out of the pool at the front of the lane and the coach pushes them in the pool and while we’re slapping the water with the boards, they’re swimming under it. 😂
Sorry for the long comment, it’s just really complicated.

Your lying if you’ve never sang while swimming

When it is our birthday we have to do a 200 butterfly while everyone is on the lane ropes splashing us, but it is fun. (well to me since I am a flyer)

My friends were once in the shower for 40minutes and they didn’t even wash their hair 😂



And when it’s your birthday you bring in doughnuts for everyone

I dip my toe in the pool realise it's freezing and pretend my cap and goggles wernt on properly

If you are a swimmer do you ever pee in the pool because you dont have time to use the bathroom

[marlingod]

I don’t even use the lane line for back because I’m scared of hitting my hand but otherwise sure

[katelyn]

Hot shower!? Heck I have an ICE cold shower.

If any swimmer does all 10 of these, they are most likely very slow.

*That one moment where you're doing butterfly and you somehow hit your hand on the lane marker.*

[nanabahyazzie]

I have only done 3 or 4 of them.The one I do the most is talk about what I am going to eat or what I want to eat

[bakbakbakduck]

Wait wtf people swim to exercise!?
I just do it because it is fun.

My swim team is soooo strict. We don’t have doughnuts, we can’t be underwater when the coach’s are talking, if you don’t wear a swim cap you can’t swim and there’s much more.

I thought about beef noodle soup with extra Chinese broccoli for 1, 200 meters! I also created a Fly-Back and a Breast-Free sandwich so I could remember the order for a 400 IM split sheet challenge.

You forgot crying in your mirrored goggles when the sets too hard so coach won’t see you crying

[boilingpaint]

one day our coach TOLD US to pull on the lane ropes just cuz he felt nice. The next day we died

The playlist one is so true. Usually at 3 AM when I’m worrying about a meet 😂.
