Swimming Anyone?


"I was 15, and the years of hard swimming had packed muscle on my frame and made me very strong. Not as strong as a football player, but strong enough to inflict heavy damage." 

...Esther Williams








"Swimming gave me my start, but my pal Tarzan did the real work. He set me up nicely."

Swimming with Mike


I confess my belief in the common man ... The man who is swimming against the stream knows the strength of it ... The man who is in the melee knows what blows are being struck and what blood is being drawn. 

... Woodrow Wilson





Most of us, swimming against the tides of trouble the world knows nothing about, need only a bit of praise or encouragement - and we will make the goal.

... Jerome P. Fleishman





On The seventh day of Christmas, 
My true love sent to me 
Seven swans a-swimming.

Congratulations To Jack and Luis!


Congratulations to former Project Runway fashiontestant, total sweetheart, and competitive swimmer Jack Mackenroth (above) on the multitude of medals he brought back from last week's Gay Games in Cologne.

Kudos should also be extended to DustBunny Dan's husband - Luis (below)- who also earned a medal in the swimming competitions.  Excellent job!

Jack Mackenroth Dominates At Outgames


Project Runway's Jack Mackenroth (who is one of the sweetest people you'll ever meet) kicked ass at the Outgames in Copenhagen - winning two gold, four silver, and two bronze medals in the swimming competitions. And based on the above (picture from Queerty), Jack managed to do all that winning while looking incredibly hot!

Jack told the Windy City Times...
"My experience here has been amazing. I love the city and the local people have been accommodating and supportive. I have not felt any of the anti-gay sentiment that is so prevalent in the U.S.," he said. "The swimming complex was beautiful and the entire Outgames was run with amazing efficiency. I love meeting athletes from all over the world. We share the common bond of sport, so it's easy to get to know someone and ask about their events."
Congratulations Jack!

Jack Mackenroth Competing at Outgames


According to Blogging Project Runway, Jack Mackenroth has been kicking ass at the 2009 Outgames in Copenhagen. So far he has won a bronze and two silver medals in the swimming competitions. Congratulations Jack!

Let's hope Jack doesn't have a wardrobe malfunction like swimmer Ricky Berens. Actually, I bet there are quite a few people hoping he DOES :)
