This won’t be the last tweet regarding Ledecky on this list, but it’s one of the wittiest. Next, we can put Ledecky’s face on the $100 bill instead of Mr. Franklin’s.

Those clear Vanquishers might give you a great view on your underwaters indoors, but boy are they going to cost you when you flip over and try to swim backstroke outdoors in the summer.

Some of America’s top young talent keeping it lose at World Championships. Both of these studs helped the U.S. win gold in Kazan with their help on relays.

LSU swimmer Caley Oquist shared a warmup lane with the GOAT at Nationals. Ridiculously cool picture. Phelps does look quite hydrodynamic here.

Welcome back, Michael Fred. And what a way to show the world why you’re the greatest ever. Fastest time in the world this year in the 200 fly, 100 fly, and 200 IM.
haha these are great. A+ post, would read again
Lol. I am sure she lives u anyway.
That Dad text tweet ranks #1 in my heart. #parentsarethebest
I once watched my then-4 year old daughter (I thought) in a dance class recital from the back of the room. The dad’s were supposed to give the daughters a bouquet of flowers at the end.
Not only did I watch the wrong girl, but I didn’t discover it until I started to hand her the flowers.
And just to pre-empt the jokes, by “I thought,” I know she’s my daughter, “I thought” I was watching her. Placement of parenthetical clauses is apparently important. Or so I’ve been told.
my dad has a video of one of my teammates swimming a 200 free-we are a similar build and were .07 apart at the finish
