In the (relatively average) 2015 American biblical sci-fi series The Messengers, actor Joel Courtney (pic related) plays the role of a "swim nerd" orphaned Texas teenager chosen by God along six other randoms to stop the impending Apocalypse. Superpowers and a race against time ensues.

I was surprised by the description of an athlete as a "nerd". Seriously? Is swimming that unpopular in the US that high-school swimmers are picked on, called gay, and considered "nerds"? And why the fuck?

Legit question. In my country swimming is neither popular nor unpopular in high school, but either way, people who can swim laps for hours are not usually looked down.

Also, swimming general I guess, assuming that's allowed on what is now /wrestling/.

Here's another still from the series, just for the sake of avoiding a 1-image thread. I never noticed, but you can see a swimmer's reflection in the underside of the water surface! Pretty cool. Opticks and whatnot.

Also it's not Texas it's Arkansas, my bad. Not that it matters though, it's probably filmed in Atlanta or Toronto like so many films nowadays.

>just described 90% of this board
Indeed.
But haven't we as a civilization moved passed the point of looking down to men in tights and speedos "because gay"? Or else why would superhero films be so popular?

He's not a nerd because he swims, it just so happens that people who pick swimming over more popular sports tend to be nerds.

Nothing new here, I'm OP after all

>>1887662
I see. Is that the same for other less popular sports? Soccer, volleyball, handball, tennis, judo? (all popular high school sports in my country, in that order)

Pic is Hong Kong Harbour Race yesterday, 1.5 km, 2 dead.
