Swimming - Blog Posts
I have been very absent, why you may ask? Well the truth is that I forgot Tumblr existed.
Anyway, I deleted all my old posts so here ya go, starting fresh with this little thing I made a bit ago, I want to focus more on my art.
Stay tuned I’ll be posting a bit more now

Here are some things that I witnessed kids from my swim team say and do
*Someone is talking about how they’re trying to be more healthy and happy* another kid- “man, that shit dont work, settle for cocaine like the rest of us
"I’m pretty sure everyone cheated on the test last week” “I didnt” “Okay, fucking nerd”
*dude walks by in a Speedo* “damn, look at his weiner” *dude turns around to look at them* *person next to her takes a bite of their sausage on a fork*
*Drake dramatically opens the door to the pool room* IM HERE, IM QUEER, AND I DONT HAVE ANY FEARS" “OKAY DRAKE, THEN KILL THIS FUCKING SPIDER” a person hiding in a corner yells “IM HERE IM QUEER AND I HAVE ONE FEAR” *Drake runs away screaming*
“Daaaaamn, i dropped less time than emily, and shes fucking slow”
“Do you think I coukd swim fully clothed without getting in trouble?” “Abby I swear to god if you do that-” *abby proceeds to jump into the pool fully clothed* *her boyfriend screams and jumps in after her trying to save his phone that was in her pocket*
“i LiKe CrAcK” *takes bite of raw onion*
*this one person whispering* “the snack that smiles back” *whole team yelling* “GOLDFISH”
“What kind of water are hamsters supposed to swim in?” “Um, no water? They aren’t supposed to be in water” “shit…” “ROW WHAT DID YOU DO?!”
“They guys locker room is so much nicer than the girl’s” “why the fuck were you in the boys locker room Abby?” “WHY THE FUCK WAS NELSON GIVING US A TOUR OF IT, NOAH? I DONT KNOW MAYBE BECAUSE NO ONE ELSE WAS HERE AND WE WANTED TO PLAY HIDE AND SEEK!”
“Is that a potato chip?!” *dives into the water to get a potato chip from the bottom of the pool* *eats the really soggy potato chip* “well this dont taste good…”
*person who was sick walking past the lockers into the main part of the locker room* “WAZZUP MOTHERFUCKERS!!!! DID YA MISS ME?!” “WHY DIDNT YOU DIE WHILE YOU WE’RE SICK ABBY?!” “FUCK YOU ASHLYN
Aaaand that’s all I can think of, tell me if you want a part two
I am also on a swim team, so I’m adding.
- we were told to do one 500. We had to do 3 cuz someone was breathing to much. Then we all breathed in protest.
- A senior walked up to a freshman and picked him up and spun him around.
- “just keep your laps straight.” “I COULDN’T EVEN KEEP MYSELF STRAIGHT!”
- One of the people on my swim team fucking prayed while they were on the block, like the dude fucking crossed his chest and then kissed his hand. My friend saw a different guy do this, he wasn’t even religious!
- One of the guys wolf-whistled at another guy. I am now writing gay fanfic of them.
- we found a knife on the swim bus and didn’t think to give it to the coach for a full ass 10 minutes, so we sat their all staring at the knife wondering what to do.
- one guy started whistling really loudly just at the start of an event.
- a girl jumped into the pool fully clothed.
- took a nap on a table
- Medicine Ball Catch. Enough said
- We have a cheer about toothpaste
- we all shave together
- we have gossip sessions in the shower
- the boys relay always yell “meat sauce” before they swim
- treat inhalers like drugs.
- a girl who threw her goggles at the coach.
There is so much more shit I have seen that I can’t even write it all. My swim team is very special

So there are these 2 kinda homophobic boys on my swim team and i might, kinda, be writing gay fanfic of them. They’re both wearing speedos and are almost noise to noise trying to be “big” and “intimidating”. How am I not suppost to ship them? They keep saying, “no homo” and I’m in the corner thinking, “yes homo”
so yeah, now I’m writing fanfic.
They’re also light haired x dark haired.
Max is ready to live up the last of summer!

That pussy should be wet for me around the clock. Make it naughty and send me pics of you doing it.

Athletes Go for the Gold with NASA Spinoffs
NASA technology tends to find its way into the sporting world more often than you’d expect. Fitness is important to the space program because astronauts must undergo the extreme g-forces of getting into space and endure the long-term effects of weightlessness on the human body. The agency’s engineering expertise also means that items like shoes and swimsuits can be improved with NASA know-how.
As the 2024 Olympics are in full swing in Paris, here are some of the many NASA-derived technologies that have helped competitive athletes train for the games and made sure they’re properly equipped to win.
The LZR Racer reduces skin friction drag by covering more skin than traditional swimsuits. Multiple pieces of the water-resistant and extremely lightweight LZR Pulse fabric connect at ultrasonically welded seams and incorporate extremely low-profile zippers to keep viscous drag to a minimum.
Swimsuits That Don’t Drag
When the swimsuit manufacturer Speedo wanted its LZR Racer suit to have as little drag as possible, the company turned to the experts at Langley Research Center to test its materials and design. The end result was that the new suit reduced drag by 24 percent compared to the prior generation of Speedo racing suit and broke 13 world records in 2008. While the original LZR Racer is no longer used in competition due to the advantage it gave wearers, its legacy lives on in derivatives still produced to this day.
Trilion Quality Systems worked with NASA’s Glenn Research Center to adapt existing stereo photogrammetry software to work with high-speed cameras. Now the company sells the package widely, and it is used to analyze stress and strain in everything from knee implants to running shoes and more.
High-Speed Cameras for High-Speed Shoes
After space shuttle Columbia, investigators needed to see how materials reacted during recreation tests with high-speed cameras, which involved working with industry to create a system that could analyze footage filmed at 30,000 frames per second. Engineers at Adidas used this system to analyze the behavior of Olympic marathoners' feet as they hit the ground and adjusted the design of the company’s high-performance footwear based on these observations.
Martial artist Barry French holds an Impax Body Shield while former European middle-weight kickboxing champion Daryl Tyler delivers an explosive jump side kick; the force of the impact is registered precisely and shown on the display panel of the electronic box French is wearing on his belt.
One-Thousandth-of-an-Inch Punch
In the 1980s, Olympic martial artists needed a way to measure the impact of their strikes to improve training for competition. Impulse Technology reached out to Glenn Research Center to create the Impax sensor, an ultra-thin film sensor which creates a small amount of voltage when struck. The more force applied, the more voltage it generates, enabling a computerized display to show how powerful a punch or kick was.
Astronaut Sunita Williams poses while using the Interim Resistive Exercise Device on the ISS. The cylinders at the base of each side house the SpiraFlex FlexPacks that inventor Paul Francis honed under NASA contracts. They would go on to power the Bowflex Revolution and other commercial exercise equipment.
Weight Training Without the Weight
Astronauts spending long periods of time in space needed a way to maintain muscle mass without the effect of gravity, but lifting free weights doesn’t work when you’re practically weightless. An exercise machine that uses elastic resistance to provide the same benefits as weightlifting went to the space station in the year 2000. That resistance technology was commercialized into the Bowflex Revolution home exercise equipment shortly afterwards.
