Victoria's Secret, a company that produces clothing for women, has released a video ad trailer thingmabob that the men at Esquire magazine are pretty excited about. We're also pretty excited, because it looks like summer 2015 is going to be chock full of bathing suits that rub you in all the wrong places.

Yesterday, Jamaican swimmer Alia Atkinson became the first black woman to win a world swimming title when she totally crushed the 100m breast stroke at the FINA World Swimming Championships (25m) in Doha, Qatar.

While the Olympics aren't fresh on the mind for some (not me; I actually never stop thinking about them), some recent particularly impressive distance swimming has prompted the question of why female swimmers competing in the Olympics swim 800 meters of freestyle instead of 1,500 meters, the way the men do.

If you were on the internet 9 years ago, you may have heard about the Facekini, a revolutionary product that protected one's face from tanning while swimming. Almost a decade later, the Facekini is even more popular, exploding onto the beaches of Qingdao, China and protecting from more than just the sun.

A Philadelphia barista and water sports enthusiast says she was ridiculed by staff and, eventually, prevented from swimming at a public pool for wearing a swimsuit that looked like "a bra and panties." It was, in fact, an American Apparel bikini, which she demonstrated by letting a male employee pull out the waistband…

Olympic swimmer and six-time gold medalist Amy Van Dyken Rouen, 41, has been injured in an all-terrain vehicle accident, her family says. The crash severed Rouen's spinal cord and nearly ruptured her aorta, but she has been stabilized and is reportedly awake and in good condition.

805 people got together in Florida to shed their clothes and take a dip in the water to break the Guinness World Record for the most people naked at once and swimming together in a non-sexual (?) manner. I'm kinda grossed out by all those bodily fluids seeping into orifices (sorry) but then again, I'm a never-nude…

Before the salt water had even evaporated from superhuman Diana Nyad's magical swim cap, other people in the long distance swimming community were all lined up with their suspiciously sour grapes-y doubts that maybe the 64-year-old had somehow faked part of her inspiring swim from Cuba to Florida. And they've got…

After failing last year (and the time before that, and the time before that, and the time before that…) to swim the 103 miles from Cuba to Florida, crawl exhausted onto the beaches at Key West, and enjoy a mojito Fidel Castro made and bottled in a small, shark-proof thermos, endurance swimmer Diana Nyad was, as of…

This baby elephant at the Fort Worth Zoo is reveling in the annual miracle of summer, when all the pools are open and the supermarket's freezer section is overstocked with Flintstones Push Ups.

Summer is full of the sorts of hidden dangers that come with being drunk and out in the hot sun for longer than usual. You could fall asleep in a wading pool and be urinated upon by your neighbor’s dog. A shark could attack you while you’re flipping around on your boogie board like a dying seal. You could wear a…

Did you know that sloths are excellent swimmers? They are! They're like the Ryan Lochtes of the animal kingdom.

There are two options for an American high school age swimmer after she dominates in the Olympics. One, she can go pro and make a ton of money in endorsement deals or, two, she can stay amateur and still be able to compete at high school and college levels. 17-year-old Missy Franklin, who snatched up a handful of…

Only four days left to hop into the blue and get gnarly with Ryan Lochte. I'm pretty sure that's what he calls doing laps for Hurricane Sandy relief. What a man! The auction is at $9,500 right now so you gotta act fast while it's reasonable and totally worth it.

Olympic gold medalist and soon-to-be 30 Rock "sex idiot" Ryan Lochte has captured America's imagination with his chiseled pecks and flaccid, chlorine addled mind. And while his time in the public eye has been characterized by such knowledge nuggets as "Getting back in shape is rough but luv it" and "The world is my…

I'm a little obsessed with The Brooklyn Peaches, the borough's recreational synchronized swimming team, because the retro bathing suit-clad swimmers remind me of cheerful hipster dolphins — and I mean that as a compliment.

Diana Nyad has thankfully made a quick recovery after being pulled from the water yesterday and officially ending her fourth attempt at swimming the 103-mile crossing between Cuba and Florida. Already, the veteran endurance swimmer (who turns 63 today) is up and at 'em, running the interview circuit to discuss her…
