Please explain to me why the typical swimmer's body is long and lean, but you look like you could pick me up and throw me? I'm not complaining, I'd just like to hear you talk about your body.

CULLEN JONES, USA.
Bodies aside, let's talk about the fact that this is the only guy I've ever seen look good in the cap and goggles. Also, tween bonus points for his vampire-last-name-as-first-name situation.

BRENDAN HANSEN, USA.
Let's get away from these younglings for a second and spend some time with a 30-year old. This is his third Olympics, so he knows his way around a swimming pool. And a gym, apparently.

ANTHONY ERVIN, USA.
Ooh, a little Brooklyn-hipster-hottie. He wears hipster glasses in his Olympics promo photos, and I don't think I need to point out to you his full sleeve tat action. Or his magnificently rippling body.
Fun Fact: His two medals are from the 2000 Olympics. He took all the intervening years off and then started training again in 2011 to qualify for the London Games. Bad. Ass.

TOM DALEY, GREAT BRITAIN.
Okay, so he's not really a swimmer, he's a diver. But are you mad about it? Are you really mad about it? I'm not, because he is delicious.
Fun Fact: He's barely 18, so I immediately take back everything I just said.
Best Event: 10M Platform
Medals In London: 0

CESAR CIELO, BRAZIL.
He's not as muscle-y as some of the other athletes in this gallery, but for some reason I'm not bothered because his skin is so toned and silky smooth and covered in gold medals.
(Un)Fun Fact: Cesar tested positive for a banned substance in May 2011, but was found to be not at fault.

JAMES MAGNUSSEN, AUSTRALIA.
This just isn't fair. That this body could be combined with an Australian accent...that's a devastating combination, and I'm currently booking a flight to Australia to go retrieve this national treasure.
Fun Fact: His nickname is 'The Missile' and he's apparently really cocky before races. I don't care. He shall still be mine.
Best Event: 100M Freestyle
Medals In London: 1 Silver
Medals Total: 1 Silver

EAMON SULLIVAN, AUSTRALIA.
Another Aussie, aka I'm in heaven. To be perfectly honest, he's a little too skinny for my taste, but I thought I'd highlight his complete lack of butterface as a bonus.

Well wouldja look at that charming Italian boy. I'm not at liberty to say anything about his body because he's only 17 (bah!), but feel free to Google your heart out.

CAMILLE LACOURT, FRANCE.
I take back everything negative I've ever said about French people or France or French anything because holy fucking shit, Camille Lacourt. He's like...the Fleur Delacour of swimming. My mouth is literally hanging open right now.
Fun Fact: His real push into becoming a real competitor came when his then-coach, Richard Martinez, fired him.
