“After the Olympics, people tend to just forget about swimming….Yeah but um, I just want to bring swimming into everyone’s living room, so bringing swimming awareness.”

-Ryan Lochte on why watching his reality show, What Would Ryan Lochte Do? will bring swimming awareness.

Hellz yeah!

We don't know that it is about Tom Daley, but he is just waaay too hawt for words!!

On Sunday, the British diver got in a tiny speedo to get his dive on at the FINA/Midea Diving World Series 2013 in Scotland, and even though his form looked AH-MAYZING, his chiseled bod is what really caught our eyes.

Taking into mind that most people can only achieve a six pack, we were automatically glued to Daley's eight pack of a tummy.

Guess when you compete in the Men's 10m Platform preliminary at the Royal Commonwealth Pool, you gotta bring your A-game and your banging physique!

Ch-ch-check out the hottie (below)!!

Earlier this month, Kendra Wilkinson quit the ABC show, Splash because of her fear of heights, and even though she's no longer diving, she somehow thinks that she's earning medals. LOLz

The former Playboy model tweeted:

Katherine Webb, one of the hawtest contestants left on Splash, has exited the show!

So what was it? Did she argue with Louie Anderson about reruns of Life With Louie?? Nope! Poor girl got injured!

Just a few weeks ago Kendra dropped out of the show because she's afraid of heights — though, we're not quite sure why she joined it in the first place then. Maybe she wanted to conquer the fear? Oh well.

Anyway, Katherine is now out and NOT by choice:

Honestly, at first we were just expecting to see Ryan Lochte getting all frat in our faces (while being handsome, though) during his new reality show, What Would Ryan Lochte Do?!

What we didn't expect was to see him cry when talking about how much his family means to him, while recollecting what it was like to win his first gold medal! Seriously, it's absolutely touching, and we can only hope the show has some more actual real moments like this in between all the stuff we'll roll our eyes at… without actually looking away!

LOLz!

If that clip doesn't satisfy you, we've got two more AFTER THE JUMP! Check'em all out!

Hey Lance Armstrong!

We're sorry to hear that you're unable to take part in a swimming competition in Texas, but maybe you shouldn't have cheated in sports for all those years and then followed it all up with lies. You'd probably be able to compete in anything you wanted had you not done that! Just sayin'!

LOLz!

Armstrong wanted to compete at the Masters South Central Zone Swimming Championships in his home town of Austin this weekend. It has nothing to do with cycling, it isn't subjected to USA or World Anti-Doping Agency codes. No prob, right?

Wrong!

Have you ever just wanted to get away from it all?? Sure!

Most people just go on a vacation once or twice a year, or spend a weekend camping or something! Not many people would drive an hour and a half (both ways) three times a week just to swim around a natural spring DRESSED AS A MERMAN!

On TLC's My Crazy Obsession (what else?), we meet Eric Ducharme, someone who is obsessed with mermaids, mermen, and any other kind of human/fish hybrid!

The thing is, though, he's not hurting anyone. He isn't even hurting himself, like those with crazy dangerous addictions that TLC likes to show as well. It's a harmless activity, and he enjoys it! It's not like he's making his fins out of actual fish, and he isn't forcing anyone to join him!

Though, one argument you COULD have is the gas he's using — to some it might look like a waste. To him, he's spending it wisely!

Luckily, if U don't know how to feel about it quite yet, you can just ch-ch-check out the video we have (above) from the episode and decide for yourself!

Do YOU, Eric!
