Gertrude Ederle, first woman to swim the Channel, 1926, (1935).

Gertrude Caroline Ederle (1905-2003) was an American competition swimmer, Olympic champion, and world record-holder in five events. On August 6, 1926, she became the first woman to swim across the English Channel. Among other nicknames, the press sometimes called her "Queen of the Waves".

"To me, the sea is like a person, like a child that I've known a long time. It sounds crazy, I know, but when I swim in the sea I talk to it. I never feel alone when I'm out there." - Gertrude Ederle

Attention Kääryleet, a gentle reminder that we never know when Jere might be lurking around the corner. There’s a post on Finnish Jodel talking about his swimming skills and the menace replied with this…

”Once I went to a swimming competition at school and I was last.”

#käärijä #but samesies jere 🥲 i was once forced to go to a swimming competition bc there weren’t enough participants from our year #and everyone else were pro swimmers and i was last in the competition

The Chain if they were competitive swimmers except I only have ideas for a few of them

Sky: He's a sprinter, good in any stroke but best in fly. His track starts are ✨ flawless ✨ but we don't talk about his underwaters.

Legend: Jack of all trades, he has some beef with the water but he still races. He'll swim anything but likes long distance events. Good track starts and his dolphin kick is incredibly fast.

Four: Races IM and also enjoys Medley relays. (Vio: Breast, Blue: Free, Green: Fly, Red: Back)

And that's it for now, this is definitely staying in my head though.

#Um #Competitive swimmers au #Yeah I should give this a tag #I have a feeling this will pop up again #linked universe #lu legend #lu four #lu sky #Kinda #sunny rants

got my Official lung test results back (analyzed by a pulmonologist rather than just the initial respiratory therapist impressions) and they're actually BETTER than expected for someone of my age/weight/ethnicity. everyone say THANK U jock swimmer-singer lifestyle god what a relief.

#really outta shape now but being a competitive swimmer & musical theater kid as a teen almost certainly helped #96% for volume and 101% to 107% for airflow/exhaling/function/etc #autoimmune tag #especially a relief given how vital both swimming and singing are 4 my quality of life. like arthritic pianists getting mobility splints

“Mermaids were beautiful, and was I not also beautiful? Alluring? A creature of the water? Not of salt like the mermaids in the book, but of chlorine.” chlorine by Jade song is such a unique book. I don't think I've read a book in recent memory that grabs you as violently as it does, and brings you on a journey of competition, friendship, love, gore and water. the descriptions and metaphores/similes in that thing genuinely made me rethink some of life's staples and my own opinion. this book is incredible. I really love it. If you wanna hear more, my short positive review is now live:) https://youtu.be/s9_JnXmvDeE

I read it in like a week which. doesn't happen anymore lol

Me: I should go for a nice relaxing swim after a year out of the pool!

Also me: violently thrashing up and down the fast lane cursing the inventor of the Butterfly while flailing out an hours' worth of drills and sprints

#I continue to have zero chill at this sport #the body is weak but the mind still believes im a competitive swimmer #i did actually get some relaxing lengths in after nearly killing myself! #personal #competitive swimming #so I did 2km #am ded

Competitive swimmer culture is having songs unironically ruined because you played them so often at meets that now you can't listen to them without smelling pungent chlorine
