[@JetsetUnited]

I've seen this video when it was released in 2012, a few years later, and just watched it today. Its crazy to see how much has changed with these swimmers since 2012 getting married and having their own families now. The video has reminded me how fast the last 9 years has passed by and it's hard for me to grasp how valuable time is especially the older we get and changes that happen and haven't happened yet.

[@repsaknivek]

As I approach my 65th birthday it’s hard to convey how much joy this video gives me because it makes me remember those days of mine when all my friends and I had to worry about was ourselves only and our only real responsibility was to stay out of trouble, and our health and bodies were perfect. No mortgage, nor spouse, children, job/career, health issues, money worries, care about politics, taxes, nor the myriad other things the adult world presses upon us.

This has more of a vintage feeling to it that you won't see on TikTok. And besides, they would never do a full 3+ minutes long music video on TikTok, 30 seconds tops. And there are no subtitles nor an annoying robot narrator. This has nothing in common with TikTok videos whatsoever.
