What an absolute beast, and to think I get to swim in that same pool in under a week for Sectionals. Marchand is there blessing the water for me.

Man I wish I lived in Pacific Northwest (or whatever zone it is)

[@JerrinSwim]

I'm incredibly excited to announce my verbal commitment to continue my athletic and academic career at Cal State-Bakersfield! I want to thank the coaches, particularly Coach George and Coach Chris, for recruiting me and helping me through the process, I want to thank my club coach James for always pushing me to be the best swimmer I can be, I want to thank my teammates for their support, and of course I want to thank my parents who made it all possible in the first place. I can't wait to see what lies ahead of me in swimming, and what new challenges I'll face and overcome. Go Roadrunners!

It’s a shame swimmers aren’t as popular as other athletes, everyone watches the pac 12 basketball championships but they don’t witness amazing talents like Leon 😢 chefs kiss Leon that was a perfect swim

[@zsomborczoma]

You can't help but smile when this guy swims. Races like this makes you dream of what could be. True sportsman!
