Swimming World's Weekly Splash💦

With Craig Beardsley headed for induction into the International Swimming Hall of Fame this evening, Swimming World turns to the archive for this piece about the 1980 United States boycott of the Moscow Olympic Games.

Having a best friend is one of the greatest feelings in the world. They’re someone you’ve grown up with and been able to experience life with. As a swimmer, an even better feeling is having a swimmer best friend.

Throughout the International Swimming Hall of Fame induction ceremony over the weekend, members of the Class of 2022 shared numerous stories during their enshrinement speeches. It was truly a celebratory event in Fort Lauderdale, the 57th of its kind.

It’s no surprise that swimmers keep their bodies in peak shape and their commitment comes with an added benefit for fans. Not only can we watch them dominate in the pool, we can also enjoy the visual display of muscles flexing, faces grinning, and some seriously hot racing.
