id: a screenshot of a swimswam headline reading “erika brown: ‘we cannot allow’ transgender women to compete against women” with the subtitle “u.s. olympian erika brown became the first national teamer to speak out regarding lia thomas’ ability to compete as a woman in the ncaa. archive photo via jack spitser” and a picture of erika brown. the article is written by james sullivan and published december 29, 2021. there are no comments

serious (ish) post + transphobia

why does the swim community have to be so goddamn transphobic?? like with all the lia thomas stuff can’t we just let her compete? so what if she wins and breaks records or whatever? she complies with the ncaa rules and isn’t even close to breaking any of katie ledecky’s records, even at the semi-beginning of her transition. just let her compete, and if she blows away the competition oh well good for her- it’ll push the other women in the pool to go even faster to keep up with her.

there are two wolves inside you. one wants to see michael andrew not get any medals. the other wants to see murphy/dressel/apple win gold in the men’s 4x100 medley

literally just sputtered when phelps said dressel is the best 200 freestyler in the world like his 1:46.6 pr says otherwise lmao

Swim culture on weekends is: wake up way too early > put on bathing soot instead of clothes > end up in coldest pool ever half conscious

Swim culture is getting dizzy when you get out of the water and then immediately getting onto a start block regardless (I’ve face-planted directly off twice)

Backstroker culture is not being able to do breastroke, at all, not even to save urself

[swimfastlittlefishies]

I know I reblogged this but it’s actually very funny to me because my team has actually always had a ton of people whose two best strokes were backstroke and breaststroke

She’s back!

if you mean me, yeah I guess! I never left in the sense that I'm on tumblr every single day, but when there aren't any other swim blogs posting I don't have much motivation to make enough original posts to count as active. but since a couple other blogs have revived/been created I'm able to reblog stuff! as long as there's swim stuff on my dash I'm active, so keep posting
