Dry skin, wet hair, must be a swimmer! @chlorinehead - Tumblr Blog

update

its been a long time since I've really posted so i thought i’d give a little update: I'm moving to the east coast for university in about a week. I really don't know if I'm going to try out for the swim team because its one of the best in canada, but I'm absolutely going to keep swimming (i can't go like 3 days without swimming so...).I want to try cross country, boxing, yoga, and maybe even try a triathlon. I’m going to miss my old team so much but I'm really excited to try new sports without dedicating myself to training 9x a week. I hope everyones doing great and if you ever want to chat about anything, feel free :)

Ryan Lochte is funny because the pool chlorine turned his hair green and he’s like ‘whatever’ and then he gets robbed at gun point and he’s like ‘lol whatever’ and I think deep down there’s a bit of Ryan Lochte in all of us

Canadas first Olympic medal goes to the women’s 4x100-metre freestyle relay swim team! Bronze is enough for this team as Canada has not won a medal in this event in 40 years.

Every Olympics, it happens. That awful question, verbal slight, or condescending remark. It happens immediately after a race, or during post-race interviews, or in the TV commentary, or when a swimmer is in the warm-down pool, or on social media, or in copy written in articles or blogs or recaps, or afterwards, with fans, signing autographs. “Are you disappointed with your silver medal?” “What happened?” “You’ll get that gold next time.”
