#kit's mcytsc au

[mount-st-helens-fancam]

I’m losing my goddamn mind. Swim team au time (part 1/??)

I’ve been doing competitive swimming for 8 goddamn years (5 winter, 3 summer) and istg I’ve made swim team aus for every fandom I’ve been in since then. It’s a problem. 

uhhhh for anyone who cares about the specifics: there’s like 3-4 ish separate teams, each w members of different mcyt circles (hermitcraft, speedrunners, dsmp, hypixel etc etc). It’s based on my region’s setup (kinda) where there's winter maintenance then the summer season w all the meets. there's no qualifying for regionals, just provincials/states whatever you wanna call it idk i’m Canadian

ANYWAYS HERE’S THE SCUFFED MCYT ONE I’VE HAD IN MY NOTES FOR LIKE A MONTH EHE

-Tommy is a sprinter ok

Lanky man cannot do breast lmaoooooo too much limb

Complains about kick no matter the distance they have to do

Steals his lanemates’ pullbuoys

GETS DQ’D FOR FALSE STARTS CONSTANTLY

Somehow always manages to either A) get his hand stuck in the lane ropes or B) slam his heel into the gutter (that shit HURTS)

+++++

-Tubbo absolutely does back I can feel it in my BLOOD

Enjoys suicide turns way too much

The type To basically glide through the first 75 of a 100 then sPRINT THE REST 

Constantly misreads sets and ends up doing kick instead of drill 80% of the time

“You can pry these fins out of my cold dead hands, motherfucker”

Loves leading cheers, whenever he leads w Tommy they get everyone else to go hog-fucking-wild 

+++++

-Ranboo kinda does everything, specialty is 400 free

Kinda fucks w/ IM too

Writes his heats/lanes EVERYWHERE

Arms, heatsheets, side of his bag etc

The only one who always has his water bottle. Hydrate or diedrate bitch

Would rather die than jump in first during mornings 

He wore clear goggles on One occasion and got so disoriented he swam into the wall 

+++++

-Techno also does everything ?? Actually vv good at breast though. Definitely his best stroke 

Always ends up on region medley relay and usually fistfights whoever is doing free (unless it’s Phil, then he swims a PB) 

Sleeps through activation at meets

All his gear is pink by now, he has the pink tie dye bag it slaps so hard vv

He’s relatively tall but even if he wasn’t he’d be scary as fuck 

This man does NOT need a height advantage with his kick being as strong as it is 

+++++

-Wilbur,, man. Free and/or back, mid-long distance 

The one who brings a Bluetooth speaker to meets and dryland. Does not let anyone play their music (except for Eret but that’s a special case)

Can and absolutely will kill a man to get his own lane at practice (lmao same)

Unlucky alternate probably?? He comes either 4th or 9th CONSTANTLY

Flexes his height advantage CONSTANTLY like sir please stop I know you out-touched that guy in lane 3 

+++++

-Phil?? Not a coach cuz I have no fucking clue what coaches do

The only mf who willingly does fly aND ENJOYS IT

Hoards caps. They’re not even his dude (he likes trading w swimmers from other clubs at meets so they end up confusing everyone)

Usually ends up on the same medley relays as Techno, it’s kinda funny how often

Bullies teammates into actually taking care of themselves during hell week

“DRINK THAT FUCKING WATER OR I SWEAR TO GOD IM PUNTING YOU INTO THE DIVE TANK”

+++++

-Niki is the Lord of IM I swear on my LIFE

Does neg splits every goddamn time it’s incredible ??? Teach me your ways 

Lends out goggles when her teammates forget/break theirs

Turns are faster than dives, always 

Her back underwaters go farther than her free/fly ones and nobody knows how she doesn’t get water in her skull

Intimidating as FUCK behind the blocks it’s actually terrifying 

+++++

-Purpled will find anything to complain about in any practice, hands down

Free sprint/mid distance ? Choice is usually fly though

Cares way too much about milliseconds on results sheets

Gets cucked out of 4x50 relays CONSTANTLY 

Does Not Shake Hands

Either shows up to every practice in the week or comes to one [1] evening and skips dryland. No in between 

+++++

-Punz,,, basically tanks everything 

By that I mean he’s an ex-winter who retained endurance 

Sprints 200s w no regret

Has worn his chain in practice before. It was on purpose 

Fights over who gets to lead lanes, usually it’s against Sapnap to be Honest

Gets a new suit every season and keeps the old ones at the bottom of his bag

Bites his medals . Always (it’s actually disgusting medals taste awful dude wtf /lh)

+++++

-Dream- you’re on thin fucking ice 

Sneaky little second kicks during pullouts, he keeps getting dq’d for them but it’s a habit by now lmao idiot

He hates breast though. Deadass will only race it to compete w Techno (he loses every time)

More of a free/IM man tbh

WAY too picky about the pool water at out of town meets

Has no less than six different racing suits 

+++++

-George does back everyone shut the fuck up

Absolutely refuses to sub in on relays outside of his div 

Has had the same pair of goggles for at least five years

Always. ALWAYS walks around with two towels and a parka at outdoor meets especially

Everyone loves pushing him in because of his reaction (understandable)

Complains about Wilbur’s height advantage when they’re in the same heat/final\

+++++

-Sapnap is the definition of a summer swimmer 

This mf cannot swim anything over like. 400m without stopping and complaining

HOWEVER HAVE YOU SEEN HIS 50 FREE. 

“Breathing is for pussies lol” [proceeds to breath a 0-1 and choke on finishing wake] 

Fights with Punz over lane leading

He’s the one that pushes George into the pool !

+++++

-Bbh!!! Kinda Niki’s counterpart in terms of IM prowess

However he usually heavily leans on free for good times, his breast is kinda iffy ngl (also understandable)

Team mom 2: electric boogaloo

“SAPNAP DONT PUSH GEORGE INTO THE POOL”

The only one who ever has conditioner in his bag at all times 

Lmao imagine having prescription goggles couldn’t be me puts on my goggles to see the board

Less violent team dad than Phil but has still threatened Sapnap into going to bed at a reasonable time before meets 

+++++

-Skeppy cried when he had to do a 1500 during hell week it was hilarious 

But seriously this man refuses to swim distance under ANY circumstance 

Also cannot read analog clocks cuz he swam at a pool w a digital one for a while 

Does the shampoo commercial hair flip at the end of every practice 

Complains VERY LOUDLY about his racing suit and how tight it is, yet refuses to get another brand

D O L P H I N D I V E S F O R C O O L D O W N 

+++++

-Ant still does not know how he ended up as a swimmer it’s hilarious 

“THE WATER IS COLD :[” “IT'S A COMPETITION POOL????”

Kinda scary good at 200 free it’s really strange 

It’s such an obscure race but he pops the FUCK off every time 

“What were my 100 splits?” “1:03.9 and 1:03.5 what the FU C K”

Kinda (very) overdramatic when it comes to sprint sets lmao 

He actually loves doing relays w younger swimmers it’s very cute

 +++++

-SAM STOP FLEXING YOUR REACH CHALLENGE?? 

Srsly he’s almost as bad as Wilbur 

Same as Punz, he’s an ex-winter swimmer who is insanely good at 400 IM ????? Jesus Christ that race is BRUTAL

W/ summer he just races 200 though and still qualifies for provs every season smh

Every time he needs new goggles he gets the exact same pair it’s those like. Mirrored gold/navy ones I think I have a pair

+++++

-Ponk has free/breast energy I do not take criticism 

[sinks to the bottom of the pool and misses the entire set explanation]

“Your Singapore drill looks like a glorified doggy paddle lmao” “That’s what it is, you bitch”

Has that black arena bag w orange and red flowers

Loves piggybacking their teammates around, even when they get yelled at by the lifeguards

+++++

-Foolish is very very strong but kinda oblivious to it??

Like he’ll swim a 27.2 50 fly and be like :]] I didn’t see the scoreboard, how was my turn btw?? Kinda felt like it was a bit slow aha

Super super sweet though, ALWAYS wishes people good luck even if he doesn't know them

He does know everyone though its kinda funny he’ll go to a meet and be surrounded by juniors from different clubs wanting a piggyback

+++++

-Hannah !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Absolute backstroke QUEEN

She does NOT need height, her stroke rate is so strong and so high she’s just CRACKED

Listens to music behind the blocks and dances around to warm up

[aggressively does leg swings]

Somehow has perfect eyeliner even after getting out of the pool

Best relay leader ever istg she’s like a good luck charm; all of her medley relays get top 4 EZ

+++++

-Puffy kinda has free energy tbh

I feel like swimming is her second sport?? Mayb she does like. Soccer or something on the side

Either way its great cross training because she’s the only one willing to anchor 4x50 free relays every time

She is SO unlucky w caps it seems like she splits one every month feelsbadman

Team dad #3, rivals Phil in violent caring-ness

+++++

-Quackity is here for a good time, man

Somehow both incredibly competitive and super laid back

Best cheerleader in the club!! He loves leading w Karl and they alternate w Tommy n Tubbo often

Surprisingly great at fly tbh

Lovingly harasses rivals from other clubs and also his teammates <333

“Ehe I forgot my fins can I have a slower pace time,, :]]”

He does not get the slower pace time. This is the fourth practice in a row Quackity

+++++

-Karl is basically on the same page as Quackity they r the same person in different fonts

Best stroke is well uh. IM!! Out of IM tho…. Breast definitely 

Rarely shows up to morning practices (understandable)

HOWEVER he comes to every meet and brings the fucking positivity !!!! chad energy 

Changes up his suit style a lot

“Where the fuck did you manage to find a gold metallic speedo” “Let’s just say the HYSC ppl have Taste, unlike you”

+++++

-Fundy throws the fuck down in back I swear on GOD

However. HOWEVER. He Cannot do breast to save his life.

Outer lane curse outer lane curse outer lane curse

“WHY DO I KEEP ENDING UP IN LANE 1 I HATE IT HERE”

He’s the type to miss a best time by a hundredth of a second rest in peace

Equally as unlucky as wilbur 

+++++

-Someone please ban Eret from IM races they’re stealing all of the A finals spots

DEADASS THEY’RE SO GOOD??? THERE IS NOT A WEAK LINK IN THEIR STROKES.

Has, in the past, stolen Wilbur’s speaker and blasted this song https://open.spotify.com/track/5A32buYzWvtkJizBkX8OCQ?si=a28293e9e7e14b73

(It’s now the team’s unofficial hype song)

They have a whole ass vendetta against kick boards, they r ready to kill a man over doing streamline kick instead

Most likely to make every 25 in an underwater set

+++++

-Charlie is kinda like Foolish cuz he’s very strong but very unassuming

This mf slaps on his prescription goggles then shaves 4 seconds off his seed time in one go

He has WAY too much fun doing Tennessee turn sets. Madman

That guy who offers to fill up everyone’s water bottles in one go, very cool charlie tyty

NT curse, his times keep getting lost in the system and he ends up racing against div 2s cuz nobody (including him) remembers his best times and nobody wants to estimate bc he’s so unpredictable

+++++

-Jack Manifold, the king of accumulating everyone’s bad luck and still getting a PB

For example: B final (Wilbur), Lane 1 (Fundy), 100 Fly (Tommy). Almost late to his race (George). This man gets in and swims a 1:13.9, a hundredth faster than his heats time. Alpha behavior. 

Constantly flexes on other clubs during warmup by absolutely SPRINTING 

He gets kicked in the face very very often for that reason exactly

For some reason he and Tommy always end up in opposite relays?? Like Jack’ll be DSSC A and Tommy’ll be DSSC B its weird
