Still more manly than our football team

[–]HiImDan -1 points0 points ago

I was just wondering if he could replace Cassel.

[–]LobtheLobster 5 points6 points ago

So many Iowan redditors. Iowa. Fuck yeah

[–]Loggie 3 points4 points ago

What. A swimmer with a beard.

[–]eisinger2 -4 points-3 points ago

I doesn't really affect swim time at all.

[–]kelly_beans 4 points5 points ago

Actually, a lot of them grow beards to create drag when they practice, then shave before meets.

[–]eisinger2 -3 points-2 points ago

Maybe on the Olympic level, when it shaves off a few milliseconds. It doesn't create drag enough to effect speed, at least not on the Collegiate level.

[–]se7enthson 2 points3 points ago

DI collegiate level is pretty much the same thing as Olympic level. Obviously Phelps was in a league of his own, but most of the other top finishers for the US and other countries swim or have swum at DI schools in the States.

[–]DaUbaP 2 points3 points ago

I'm a d1 swimmer and yes, facial hair (and all other hair) does have an effect on times. Not only in college, but in high school as well. We grow it out for training and then shave it off for big meets.

[–]eisinger2 0 points1 point ago

I'm not saying you're wrong, but I never had any sort of change whatsoever when I swam in College. It might work for some people, just not me.

[–]rabaltera 1 point2 points ago

Maybe youre just slow?

Even if the physics of it works out to be fairly negligible you can't discount the psychological components of the whole thing.

[–]MuteNation 3 points4 points ago

I'm about 95% sure this is my cousins husband. saved for future reference

[–]trevor_from_the_bank 5 points6 points ago

Phelps changed everything.

[–]alittletraveler 3 points4 points ago

Ba-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da GO HAWKS.

[–]adzug 0 points1 point ago

[–]freym 1 point2 points ago

Know someone who swims for Iowa...and he is fabulous!

[–]debatebro15 0 points1 point ago

The amount of iowa redditors scares me, mostly because I'm from Iowa.

[–]IHate90sBands 0 points1 point ago

I know you. I went to MHMS with you.

[–]jjfiegel 0 points1 point ago

I've totally swam in this pool before.

[–]jjackrabbitt -4 points-3 points ago

I applaud the guy with the tattoo of his fucking school for his contribution to the Worldwide Douchebag Identification Project.

[–]hmbmelly 8 points9 points ago

The Hawkeyes are like our pro team in Iowa because we don't have one. There are a lot of tiger hawk tattoos around.

[–]jjackrabbitt -3 points-2 points ago

I'd say the same thing about a pro team tattoo.

[–]fcghp666 4 points5 points ago

Yeah, because you aren't a douche at ALL for automatically judging someone because of a fucking tat....
