Nobody cared about swimming. You could draw a crowd for basketball.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Swimming and all other sports have got to get to that place where you have the trust of the people watching it.
No one ever watched competitive swimming.
I can't play soccer, and I'm not a great swimmer. I won't drown, but you won't see me doing laps in a pool.
I don't swim! That's like athletic.
There's so much more to me than swimming. I like to go and have fun, like to go dancing, hang out with my friends.
Oh, I can't play soccer, and I'm not a great swimmer. I won't drown, but you won't see me doing laps in a pool.
I have big friends who won't go swimming because they're too embarrassed about it. I feel that's such a shame, because actually people should be encouraging fat people who are exercising to do it, not pointing and laughing.
Swimming isn't everything, winning is.
I think I'd struggle to get excited by synchronised swimming.
Swimming is a life-saving skill, so just the fact that the sport that I love can give so much back to other people - and inspire them to join something that they never thought they could do or go after their dreams - is something that is really special to me.
