Fishes...Looking for competitive swimming smack talk phrases
Quote | Reply
I'm making a poster for my son's high school swim team to sign and give to the coaches as an end-of-the-season gift. I'm kinda clueless about the competitive swimming vocab. Any good "smack talk" phrases that are appropriate for a high school swim team that you can suggest?

Here's wishing STers a safe and prosperous 2010.



Lifeguard: "Do you need help?" Me: "No, that's just my butterfly."

Here's a couple I remember from college:



Pain is Temporary, Pride is Forever

If you can't run with the big dogs, don't get off the porch

Ok, here you go! what I could remember and found on the net.

Know Pain, Know Sucess--No Pain, No Sucess
Fast girls get good times!
Go in Hard, come out wet
Real swimmers don't make excuses-they make waves
In the pool, life is cool, In the pool, swimmers Rule
Instant swimmer, just add water
I swim, therefore IM
Eat my bubbles
Eat..Sleep...Swim
IMers do it 4 ways
Why CRAWL when you can FLY
H2O--2 parts Heart, 1 part obsession
IM does not mean INSTANT MESSAGING
Soreness=Sucess
It's not pain, it's exersise induced discomfort
So much water, so much time
Swimming is as easy as H2O
Have googles, will travel
I may have come from the sea, but I live in the water
Wanna turn heads? Make waves
Be the Fish...
If swimming were easy, it would be called Football
Real athletes swim, the rest play games
Chlorine- Breakfast of Champions
.

Swimming is Tracking, Torque, Traction and Timing

I had a shirt in HS that said "my best stroke is your worst nightmare"

My daughter is a swimmer and at her last meet there was a team that had "Real athletes don't wear shoes" on their shirts. I thought that one was unique.

"We do more by 6:00am than others do all day" (yeah, it's ripped off from the Marines, but it fits)

"Boys play; men swim"

"Pain is weakness leaving your body."

I'd also suggest a case of Diet Coke or bag of fancy ground coffee as swim coaches are just as groggy as anyone else for morning practices, and don't have the option of a nice bracing jump into 72F degree water in order to wake themselves up for the session.

i had a "fast" (aka big ego) swimmer in my endurance clinic last year got sick of the smack talk from him to the younger swimmers and got in his lane. after lapping him twice (on a 500) i said to him "I thought you said you were fast" his response "but your a triathlete" my response back "I am old enough to be your dad"

Don't know if you can make this work but I like to move the "slow" cone to the lane of the swimmer who thinks he/she belongs in the fast lane but doesn't.

Here are a couple more my daughter gave me ....

Swim each practice as if it was the most important practice of the year

Swimming is fun, and today we're going to have lots a fun

Speed is the by-product of busting your ass

Only a mediocre person is always at his best

It's not how far you swim in practice; and its' not how fast you swim in practice--it's how far you swim fast in practice

Losing is very bad ... so I'll let you do it
