By Chandler Brandes (From the Archive)<\/em><\/p>\n

Swimmers spend the majority of our time with our faces in the water staring at a black line lap after lap. Although we don\u2019t get the opportunity to speak too often during practice, when we do get the chance to talk, we have a lot to say.<\/p>\n

In the rare instance when our heads are above water, I can assure you you\u2019ll never<\/strong> hear us say these 37 things:<\/p>\n

1. Waking up before 5 a.m. really builds character.<\/h3>\n

2. I\u2019d much rather take the stairs than the elevator.<\/h3>\n

3. It only takes me, like, 2 minutes to put my tech suit on.<\/h3>\n

4.\u00a0My goggle marks really accentuate the dark circles under my eyes.<\/h3>\n

5. I always cool down after my races, especially on the last night after finals.<\/h3>\n

6.\u00a0I never lose count during a set.<\/h3>\n

7. I love when my teammate shakes the counter on the first lap of the mile.<\/h3>\n

8.\u00a0I\u2019ve never peed in the pool.<\/h3>\n

9.\u00a0Darn, I was hoping today wasn\u2019t a recovery practice.<\/h3>\n

10. Really? I had no idea I smelled like chlorine.<\/h3>\n

11.\u00a0I always make sure I breathe to the side of the pool Coach is standing on.<\/h3>\n

12. I hope it\u2019s the 1650 and not the 1000 at this dual meet.<\/h3>\n

13. Ugh, do we have<\/em> to wear fins for this set?<\/h3>\n

14.\u00a0I hope I have dry skin for the rest of my life.<\/h3>\n

15.\u00a0I\u2019ve never timed my cap ripping at\u00a0exactly<\/em>\u00a0the right moment.<\/h3>\n

16. I\u2019m so excited for Christmas training.<\/h3>\n

17. The bus doesn\u2019t come for 5 more minutes! That\u2019s okay, I\u2019ll just walk to class instead.<\/h3>\n

18.\u00a0I\u2019ve never faked being sick to get out of practice.<\/h3>\n

19. I always leave exactly<\/em> five seconds behind my teammate.<\/h3>\n

20. Distance swimmers: I\u2019m so glad I\u2019m not a sprinter.<\/h3>\n

21. Sprinters: I wish I was a distance swimmer.<\/h3>\n

22. Taper starts today? I’d rather train through Championships.<\/h3>\n

23. I don’t want to work on starts and turns at the end of practice.<\/h3>\n

24. I love how hairy my legs are.<\/h3>\n

25. Of course<\/em> I didn\u2019t purposely DQ so I wouldn\u2019t have to swim again at night.<\/h3>\n

26. I never pull on the lane line during backstroke.<\/h3>\n

27.\u00a0Nah, I don\u2019t want that extra plate of food, I\u2019m full.<\/h3>\n

28.\u00a0I love shopping for clothes. Everything fits my shoulders perfectly.<\/h3>\n

29.\u00a0I\u2019m always bright eyed and bushy tailed after morning practice.<\/h3>\n

30.\u00a0I\u2019m not sore at all!<\/h3>\n

31. The sound of my alarm in the morning is like angels singing.<\/h3>\n

32. I hate napping.<\/h3>\n

33. Nothing beats diving into a cold pool at 5 in the morning.<\/h3>\n

34. I think everyone should always sprint warmup.<\/h3>\n

35.\u00a0Yes! Coach is putting brackets around the main set!<\/h3>\n

36. I can\u2019t wait to take a quick, cold shower after practice.<\/h3>\n

37. Eating Chipotle before practice was the best decision of my life.<\/h3>\n
