Swim culture is your sister-in-law vaguely knowing that you swim and recommending you get a summer job at that ONE water park when you could literally teach swim lessons at that pool down the street

swim culture is crying in ur goggles during a set because it sucks and you don’t feel good but you know it’ll be rewarding in the long run 😔😔

.

#is it really a hard set if you don't cry a bit in your goggles #swim culture is #swimming #competitive swimming #swim #swimmer #swim team #swim meet #swim problems #swim culture #swimblr

Tech suit culture is literally not being able to sit down normally. It's lie down or stand

.

#REAL #like i'm always sitting so weirdly #it's like wearing a fancy dress at the met gala but you're just at some random pool on a saturday afternoon #competitive swimming #swimming #swim culture is #swim team #swim culture #swim problems #swim #swimmer #swimblr #swim meet

yk how hard it is for me to not correct misinformation on posts about sports on this website full of people who don't watch sports

Swim culture is pulling your coach into the pool at the last practice of the season and seeing if he melts like the wicked witch

.

#swim coaches are so weirdly afraid of the pool water for no reason #esp during practice they hate getting splashed #like it's literally your job?? #competitive swimming #swim culture is #swim team #swim culture #swim problems #swimmer #swimming #swim #swimblr #swim meet

swim culture is you and your teammates all having swim related jobs: lifeguard, lesson teacher, coaching the younger teams

(has this been done yet?) Swim culture is not recognising your teammates with clothes on

swim culture is your summer being at the pool all day (doubles + working as a lifeguard)

ok sorta swim culture, but like dec/jan are the hardest months of training but it all pays off when you get into feb and march and its just so nice, im tapering rn, have my last short course meet, have a 1 week break in 2 weeks, and then long course comes around and you have to actually start doing really hard practices again

swim culture is having to miss school for states so you're stressed the night before because of the amount of hw you have and having to pack

Swim culture is panicking and picking the ugliest rubber ducks as your prize for winning a race 😭 (please help I have like 500 soccer ducks sitting on a shelf)

.

#universal swim experience is having 8 million rubber ducks #competitive swimming #swimming #swim culture is #swim #swimmer #swim problems #swimblr #swim culture #swim team #swim meet

Swim culture is finding out your childhood pool that was supposed to be shut down is actually being saved so you can come back during summer break in college to be a life guard and tease the new swimmers like the old guards did for you once (I literally started sobbing)
