If you're a swimmer or used to be a swimmer, you most likely watched the Olympics in the beginning of August. And like most sports fans, we all went through a crazy amount of emotions and reactions while watching the best swimmers in the world compete.
1. You blew off all of your plans you made with your friends to watch the Olympics.
2. You compared your times to the times that were shown in the results, then cried a bit.
3. You were ready to receive a phone call from your neighbors since you were screaming at the TV a little too loud.
4. Katie Ledecky made you feel like a potato with no purpose in life.
5. You were living for the famous Phelp's glare.
6. You literally lost your sh** when Lilly King called out Yulia Efimova then definitely lost it even more when King beat her.
7. You had major heart eyes for Nathan Adrian.
8. You felt like a proud parent when a swimmer from your town was in the Olympics and swam like a beast.
9. And when Anthony Ervin won his second gold, at the age of 35, in the 50m freestyle, 16 years after his first gold medal.
10. You and your family split up into teams when it came down to Phelps vs Lochte in the 200m IM.
11. You couldn't believe that someone (Joseph Schooling) beat Phelps in the 100m fly.
12. The train of realization hit you really hard when you finally realized that you were never going to see Phelps race ever again.
13. But then again, you felt proud of Phelps and got just as emotional as he did when he gave his final press conference speech about his reflections on his swimming career.
14. Then you had to explain your snapchat stories to your non-swimmer friends because they don't get it (and probably never will).
Congrats to Caeleb Dressel, Ryan Murphy, and Joseph Schooling for making the Olympics and bringing the gold to Jacksonville!
