In another thread a member drew a parallel between learning to get off the block at the sound of the start horn, and Pavlov 's dogs salivating at the sound of a bell. That reminded me of my favorite tee from my college days. On the front: Does the name Pavlov ring a bell? On the back: No, but it makes me drool!
So, that thought led me to thinking about all the cute tee shirts I've seen kids wearing at meets and was wondering what your favorite swim tee shirt saying is?
At the last meet I timed there was a young woman there who was truely very fast. Her tee said, "Don't think of it as losing, think of it as being beaten by a girl!"

I had a Speedo shirt with a similar theme. One side said "long distance workout" and it showed a cartoon of swimmers in a pool. The back said "sprinters workout" and showed a guy laying on a towel on the pool deck. I liked it because both sprinters and distance swimmers can appreciate the humor.

I don't know of any but I would like to get a few new swimming tee's. Hopefully some good ideas will pop up in this thread.

The front of the shirt says "Fight to the Finish" and the back says "Trample the Weak; Hurdle the Dead." And my friend got me a shirt of X-mas that says "I am the warrior." Those are two of my favorite shirts. They are the only two real attitude shirts I have...I'm looking forward to wearing them at my first meet!! :D

My favorite T-shirt is my Georgia Masters Swimming shirt. On the back it says, "The older we get, the faster we were." ;)

Another Alabama shirt ca. 1987:
Don't cross the river if you can't swim the tide!
I guess Gambril had some creative flare.
My favorite shirt of all time (so far)

Not exactly swimming, but my high school water polo team had T-shirts that said "Reading High Water Polo" on the front, and on the back was a guy standing on a pool deck, scratching his head and looking at the ripples of water in the pool.
The caption read, "Don't even ask me where the horse is!"

That's one of my favorites, too. My dad has that one.
I like "Instant swimmer, Just add water"
1) Don't touch me I'm tapered
2)Old age and treachery will triumph over youth and skill
3) (front) Shaved (back) It's a swim thing ,you wouldn't understand.
