This reminds me of when my uncle complained that some woman came by to lap swim at the same time as his masters practice and just kept doing 500s on a faster pace than my uncle sprinting 50s for two hours…it was Katie Ledecky
MAX WILLIAMSON FROM LANE 8!!!!!
Max Williamson goes from being tied for 8th in prelims with his teammate David King to the top of the podium.
What a story.
What a swim.
Unbelievable. In the first race of the NCAA men’s swimming championships, Florida freshman Ahmed Jaouadi not only denies Indiana’s Zalan Sarkany of a mile three-peat, but shatters former Gator Bobby Finke’s NCAA record.
What a swim and what a final lap from the freshman.
🚨NEW NCAA RECORD🚨
The Florida Gator Men just clipped the NCAA record at the SEC Conference Championships with a 1:20.03!!
Back - 20.52 (Marshall)
Breast - 22.61 (de Groot)
Fly - 19.32 (Buff)
Free - 17.58 (Liendo)
Sad swimming news.
@SCSUswim head coach Tim Quill passed away.
He was coaching on deck as when I was an age grouper in #CT and acted as a mentor my first year as @LeMoyneSWIMDIVE head coach.
Rest in peace.

BREAKING: Olympic Champion Ryan Murphy reveals that he's back in the pool training again for the LA Olympics:
"Right now I'm getting my butt handed to me as I shake off the rust...get some fitness back... I know I'd regret it if I tried to pass up [a home Olympics]."
To the brave souls still debating if @katieledecky is the greatest female swimmer in history: She just swam the 2nd-fastest 1500 ever…in January…at 28…a race she hasn’t lost in 5,668 days. Bless your hearts for trying. I’m going to just enjoy this era of the greatest FEMALE ATHLETE ever.
