I think for every sport in the Olympics there should be a member of the general public competing just to contextualize how amazing those athletes are, and I think Rick Mercer is the man for the job!
Congratulations to Ryan, Brent and Richard. So proud of you guys and the whole swim team. Thanks for representing us with dignity and class. Looking forward to seeing you in Rio.
@TylersAbyss Ohhh, haha!! Some people are just not cut out for it I guess! I love Rick Mercer, and I love that he gives everything a try at least once. :) I want his job.
Blake's gonna have to shave that beard. Aerodynamically speaking, of course. And Ryan's form looks groovy! "Release The Spear!" should be the new CDN pool chant for 2012 Oly's.
Yeah well Olympics went shity on us:(... It's a god thing we still win in literacy and infant mortality rate on you guys. Lets talk again in the winter Olympics! xD
Lol, please let me know cause those are all things that your country is failing in by the way, so i am really curious to find out what YOU consider to be an accomplishment.

"some people just weren't meant to be spears."
Brilliant.
“I didn’t show any plumber’s crack, did I??”
Me: spits out mouthful of Tim Hortons
Just look at that guy... he is so buff. Just look at those arms - are they canoe paddles? The swimmers aren't bad either.
Now I want to rewatch Free! Iwatobi Swim Club...
Such plot much muscles
That was brilliant!! Thank you Rick for giving people an inside look at swimming! :)
"There's too much water in my reservoir tip" looool
cheers from victoria everyone
omg..thank you so much for bravely doing this... I am laughing so hard...needed that!!!
These are my comfort videos
I used to swim in that pool and always wondered what that line was for. I can now die happy. Thanks Rick.
Mercer for Prime Minister !!!! I beg you all . Lmao
Seriously, Mercer for Prime Ministr
No thanks!
Oh, this is pure gold.
3:30 Rick sporting those $100 goggles. (FastSkin3 Super Elite Goggles)
@Caleb Spellman www.speedo.com/international/en/goggles/racing-goggles
Crazy video i love Rick Mercer
OMFG that harness part was hilarious!!!!
Me too. So cool!

"I felt like bait" LOL
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA when i saw him on the harness!
I love that pool! :) one of the girls in the video used to swim on my team haha
Proud to say these guys swim in the same club as me and coach me :D
i think that they did pretty good
This is the only time when speedo's are acceptable and encouraged :)
this guy makes me look like a pro :)
I find it hilarious how, even when pulled in a harness, Rick isn't quiiiiiite as fast as the Olympian next to him.
i go swimming there every week SICK
LAWL! Awesome. :)
A Canadian Aggie? I never thought i'd see the day!
Definitely! Personally, though, I feel that "Some people just weren't meant to be spears" would be a superior meme! ;)
I felt like bait! 😂
@TylersAbyss Victoria is also on an island.

I had a Water Polo tournament there
...and when Julia Wilkinson said, "tight little ball," Rick should have said, "I have two of those in my swim shorts."
I swim in that pool every day :)
AHHH THAT'S OUR BLAKE!!!!!!!! Yay!
I FELT LIKE BATE HAHahahahaha
Oh man those people are fast wow.
same goes for "Release the Spear!" :)
Go canada go
I like how after the first interview, Rick keeps his shirt on except when he has to be in the water. Anyone else notice that? =)
Looks like Ryan was the only team member who didn't take the Australia trip
2:21 LOL!
Hilarious 😂
Blake used to coach me! cool guy
Canada's in the Olympics? Didn't know that
Like an elegant gazelle.
goodlooking males :D

The fact that we have the population of one small state wouldn't have anything to do with that. No No I wouldn't.
I DONT CARE IF CANaDIAN GET only 1 BROZE MEDAL in the whole olmypic, iam proud of all them athletes
I DONT CARE if Canadian doing poor in the olympic, iam proud of all our athletes, all its matter is that they try the best.
Julia Wilkinson in pretty
It's a trials beard. It kind of a tradition. All the athletes will fully shave down for trials.
DON'T TELL THE MERCER HOW TO MERCE
@MaisieGrace89 Yeah, I know, I was more wondering why Rick is so bad at it.
the Canadian Conan. conan and rick should meet one another.
That's all you've got?
Yay! Google master troll. 7 beats 4 any day foo.
...You mean only one gold? lol
Sure you didn't....lol Why don't you put that under the list of things i'm sure you don't know.
Really? I bet you proof read your youtube comments...
He looks like Justin Trudeau with the cap on
Yeah well Olympics went shity on us:(... It's a god thing we still win in literacy and infant mortality rate on you guys.
Lets talk again in the winter Olympics! xD
Failures. Failures everywhere.

I don't understand, Newfoundlanders should be the best swimmers, you live on an island! xD
First comment WHOOO!
Lol, please let me know cause those are all things that your country is failing in by the way, so i am really curious to find out what YOU consider to be an accomplishment.
They're not FS3's, just a cheap pair of no names.
