That guy looks like Anders from Workaholics.

[–]hopalap 23 points24 points ago

The 'Ders

[–]boardshorts90 15 points16 points ago

Anders actually was a swimmer.

[–]LoveSkinnyGirls 18 points19 points ago

"I swam varsity in college, ok. I go 20 point in the 50. I can fight you without breathing"

[–]jwmorrow15228 3 points4 points ago

"phelps changed everything"

[–]theJiveMaster -3 points-2 points ago*

He's full of shit he didn't go 20 point in the 50. That's fast as shit.

EDIT: Aw come on guys the 50 was my event when I used to swim. I mean my best was 21 and I swam with people going 19's (high school). Just based on Anders' personality, it seems like something that was supposed to sound purposefully fabricated.

[–]xenon57 2 points3 points ago

Not that fast for college...

[–]radakal 0 points1 point ago

That's really fast. I would like to see you try

[–]xenon57 1 point2 points ago

As a 200 breastroker i would fail horribly but alot of college guys go 19.

[–]radakal 1 point2 points ago

Looked it up. You are right

[–]xenon57 2 points3 points ago

I won a internet arguement? My day is complete.

[–]radakal 1 point2 points ago

I hope you are happy

[–]theJiveMaster 0 points1 point ago

Yea but I don't think he went to college in the show.

[–]tacoshoes 0 points1 point ago

This guy is right. He later admits that he really didn't swim the 50 in 20.

[–]stayinfresh 0 points1 point ago

he said he never went 20, when he was in the "horchata" mix. He was just trying to phase that guy out.

Are you flexing bro?

upvote for workaholics

[–]Kr3g 70 points71 points ago

Iowa represent!

[–]panther55901 28 points29 points ago

We did it...we're finally relevant on reddit (For at least the next 78 minutes).

[–]hawkimed 19 points20 points ago

It happens about once every six months or so. Enjoy the circle jerk while it lasts.

[–]needmoarbass 25 points26 points ago

GO HAWKS YOU MOTHERFUCKERS

[–]throwin_stuff -1 points0 points ago

Stop this.

[–]sonrayz 29 points30 points ago

Iowa City represent!

[–]TheHuffness 19 points20 points ago

This storm is crazy right!

[–]needmoarbass 12 points13 points ago

worrddddd

[–]Innotek 8 points9 points ago

You've got another one here.

[–]FancyFuckingSloth 4 points5 points ago

At least it should wash the vomit stains off the streets!

[–]sonrayz 2 points3 points ago

It was so crazy! Was at a friends and made the bike ride home. Literally drenched down to my socks. Monsoon season in Iowa?

[–]MrRexTheGreat 6 points7 points ago

I second this

[–]bygnerd 10 points11 points ago

Shocking number of Iowa Citians on Reddit at this hour. The storms must have kept us all out of the bars.

[–]Killable1337 4 points5 points ago

no one is getting shitty in iowa city tonight

[–]bygnerd 5 points6 points ago

I was going to go to the Nerdist podcast and changed my mind last minute. Glad I wasn't stuck downtown in the storm. I mean, who takes an umbrella to the bar?

[–]I_DUCK_FOGS 4 points5 points ago

That's bullshit. Back in 2005 there was a tornado on a Thursday night, they cancelled classes for Friday, and everyone hit up downtown. If I remember correctly, I blacked the fuck out at Scummit...

[–]throwin_stuff 2 points3 points ago

Your first mistake was going to Scummit..

[–]I_DUCK_FOGS 1 point2 points ago

It's always a mistake, but sometimes it just feels so right.

[–]FancyFuckingSloth 2 points3 points ago

I indeed did "get shitty" last night only to REGRET IT LIKE I'VE NEVER REGRETTED ANYTHING IN MY LIFE. So. Much. Rain.

[–]jpmcpeazy 10 points11 points ago

"OMG, look at all dis water!"

[–]pertz7 44 points45 points ago

Hawkeyessss

[–]Mr_Copeland 23 points24 points ago

Aye Let's Go Hawks!

[–]needmoarbass 8 points9 points ago

Bout time this meme made it to Reddit. Now it's like official. Fabulous. Go Hawks.

[–]PieceBlaster 5 points6 points ago

So many UI redditors...I'm pleasantly surprised. Go hawks!

[–]1zero2two8eight 1 point2 points ago

Relevant-ish

[–]Bosifus 18 points19 points ago

That my friends is a swimmer from Muscatine Iowa named Max Ditmer, amazing athlete.

[–]Waffle_Bot 28 points29 points ago

Nice try, Max Ditmer.

[–]needmoarbass 9 points10 points ago

Nice try, Pancake Hater

[–]numberquad -5 points-4 points ago

did you just give out someone's personal information on reddit? ಠ_ಠ

[–]legalizemarinara 5 points6 points ago

The swim cap already half does that. From there, all it takes is sifting through the roster.

[–]thescrapplekid 5 points6 points ago

everytime I see their caps I think its the Wu Tang Logo... Swim team aint nothin ta fuck with!

[–]sloouge 1 point2 points ago

came here to say dis

[–]eeks12 5 points6 points ago

does that guy have a tattoo of a hawkeye on his back.

[–]flybylee 4 points5 points ago

He does.. Oh, my hometown is full of "those" people lol

[–]Killable1337 3 points4 points ago

It's a swimming thing here at Iowa. Most of the guys on the swim team have the tigerhawk (the "hawkeye") tattooed somewhere

[–]T-Bone_The_Spider 4 points5 points ago

Oh Ders...

[–]noncleverredditor 4 points5 points ago

Iowan reporting in.

[–]Mrgonzomd 18 points19 points ago

Upvote for the Iowa Hawkeyes. And yes, we are fabulous.

[–]eatmybubbles 8 points9 points ago

Haha my friend is going to Iowa for swimming next year and he met all these guys on his recruiting trip... he said they're all well aware of this picture and are mostly good humored about it

[–]Secrete_Persona 3 points4 points ago

This is what I look like when I'm trying to squeeze out a stubborn fart.

[–]penis_lad_man 3 points4 points ago

I thought those were Wu-Tang Clan swim caps.

[–]Zabazu 14 points15 points ago

I go there! HEY EVERYONE, I GO THERE!

[–]Sorr_Ttam 5 points6 points ago

upvoted because go Hawks

[–]downwithxpc 2 points3 points ago

That guy seems a little too excited.

[–]hawkeye717 4 points5 points ago

My username is relevant for once!

[–]hawkeepuck26 1 point2 points ago

me too!!

[–]stevenjj72 7 points8 points ago

Some see swimming silliness, I see HAWKEYE AWESOMENESS!!!!

[–]alicewisdom 8 points9 points ago

Go Hawks!

[–]jschl_swim 1 point2 points ago

Well swimmers like me generally are pretty fabulous.

[–]MountainMadman 1 point2 points ago

As a swimmer, I can confirm that swimming is FAAABULOUS.

EDIT: Especially when one of the girls forgot their competition suit and had to show up to practice in a bikini...

[–]appamaniac 1 point2 points ago

Wow the first swimming meme I have seen that got popular

[–]untamedwildcat 1 point2 points ago

It's not often that you see a post before it's on reddit. This wasn't made by the OP it's been floating around for quite some time. Poor form I say, poor form.

[–]RagingBearFish 1 point2 points ago

Yay iowa

[–]laiyibeipijiu 1 point2 points ago

Hey look it's Iowa!

[–]TyrionLannister2012 1 point2 points ago

Fuck, why is it every time an Iowa post makes the top it's always something embarrassing.

[–]AnacondaML 1 point2 points ago

Goddam it, Reddit, this has been on the facebook page 'Swimming memes' for months. Please don't stoop to this level.

[–]MrPattywagon 0 points1 point ago

1) You did not make this. This image can be dated to at least 2011.

2) This is not an advice animal. It is not a "character" with a "lifestyle" that can be exploited for multiple advisory jokes. What other joke could you possibly make here? What other text are you going to use with this image?

This post does not belong in this subreddit.

[–]Alex4G123 1 point2 points ago

SWIMMING IS THE FREAKING BEST SPORT EVARRRRRRRR!

[–]zoeypayne 1 point2 points ago

Hawkeye tattoo? He'll never regret that one.

[–]Kuido 2 points3 points ago

You can't just repost things from years ago that you didn't even make

[–]Alextolly 0 points1 point ago

Haha a friend tagged me in this photo an Facebook 3 years ago. I don't know why I didn't think of this sooner

[–]CarbonKaiser 0 points1 point ago

I can hear it in my head

[–]piemanz333 0 points1 point ago

Why do you have to call iowa city out like that?

[–]Seandogg 0 points1 point ago

ders?

[–]PepPlacid 0 points1 point ago

Looks more like Pidgeotto than a hawk imho.

[–]mystikarts 0 points1 point ago

Did this guy just jizz in his pants? relevant

[–]taa_12345 0 points1 point ago

And I jizzed in my pants!

[–]Reapinghavoc 0 points1 point ago

He bears an uncanny resemblance to first-day-on-the-internet-kid!

[–]yellowpools 0 points1 point ago

Sorry to burst bubbles, Anders swam at the University of Wisconsin.

[–]iowaboy12 0 points1 point ago

Upvotes for all the Iowans on reddit!

[–]throwin_stuff 0 points1 point ago

Jesus. I go to this school and I can attest that WAY too many people have that goddamn tigerhawk tattoo. IF YOU LUF YOUR SCHOOL, YOU WILL GET ZEE TATTOO.

[–]HEHEUHEHAHEAHUEH 0 points1 point ago

Brothers?

[–]UlisesGirl 1 point2 points ago

Swimming is just actually that AWESOME. As are swimmers. We're an odd bunch - it's all the chlorine.

[–]legalizemarinara 0 points1 point ago

You sound twelve. Are you twelve?

[–]UlisesGirl 0 points1 point ago

Nope. Not even close.
You sound slow. Are you slow?

[–]legalizemarinara -1 points0 points ago

I am not.

[–]bondmaxbondrock 0 points1 point ago

REPOST

[–]buildallthethings -3 points-2 points ago

This explains my opinion on Iowa perfectly.

[–]NobleDovahkiin -2 points-1 points ago

This was on the Swimming memes page on facebook first. Stupid reposts.

[–]needmoarbass 3 points4 points ago

Hello, welcome to reddit.

[–]MrPattywagon 0 points1 point ago

Reddit does not have a general rule that forbids reposts. This subreddit does.

[–]reeru -1 points0 points ago

its like he discovered his first boner and had his first fap.

[–]Mythgusta -2 points-1 points ago

Manboobs, Manboobs everywhere

[–]MinistryofPain 2 points3 points ago
