Whether age groupers or National Teamers, swimmers share a common bond and culture unique to the sport itself. Each week, correspondent Mike Gustafson will reflect on the different experiences that bind us together as aquatic athletes. This week he writes about the realities of taper.

Warm up, 3 relay exchanges, hot tub.

Team building.
Dude can you carry this bag? I'm on taper. Me too. Awkward stares ensue.

Male Leg Shaving 101.
First Aid 101.

Stay warm.
