continuation of my post about the losers as competitive swimmers with some of my reddie headcanons because sports are just another avenue for them to piss each other off (flirt with each other) <3
they're about 17/18 in these and they're both taking the sport very seriously (looking to get scholarships for university) but they still find ways to make it fun :)
they have the same best race (200 IM) and they're very evenly matched in speed which means they're almost always in the lanes right next to each other for the 200 IM. i think they have a very overblown (but friendly) rivalry about it and they're constantly going back and forth who has the best time between them. they'll touch the wall so close to each other that they can't tell who won and richie can't see the timing board (no glasses) but he always knows if he beat eddie or not based on eddie's response to seeing the board. they grin like idiots from in the water at each other whenever either of them gets a best time.
richie is SO BAD at breaststroke he does it wrong and its going to screw up his knees so badly and eddie keeps trying to correct his kick and he'll do it right for one or two kicks and immediately revert back to his weird cursed version. eddie is convinced richie's doing it to spite him because he can't possibly actually swim like that all the time, but for once richie is actually just like that and not trying to piss eddie off. also this makes richie incredibly flustered because eddie will just. grab his legs to make him do the kick right and richie's just there drowning.
they always make team building exercises a NIGHTMARE, laser tag? its a fight to the death now. bowling? richie keeps intentionally doing the most absurd throws (but somehow managing to get strikes and spares) just to get on eddie's nerves. it always eventually devolves into a wrestling + screaming match.
there was an air hockey table at one of the hotels they stayed at for a travel meet and the other losers had to come down and drag them to bed so they wouldn't stay up late before the race. richie kept doing weird shit to distract eddie, which eddie claimed was cheating, but richie said was fair game since he wasn't interfering with the table, eddie still wins.
they've been banned from sharing a lane during social kick since they kept getting into arguments and blocking the lane.
eddie always gets up early at travel meets to get ready, whereas richie is the type to stay in bed until he has five minutes to get ready (which shockingly works for him) and eddie's over here fretting and richie's grumbling at him to turn off the light, and eddie's so mad when richie gets out of bed with five minutes to spare but is still ready before eddie (he was so focused on trying to get richie up)
eddie is disgustingly good at running for a swimmer (swimmers are not allowed to be good at running. its unnatural). richie is about as good as god intended swimmers to be at running (so to say bad), if it's not an intense training period eddie will hang back with richie to encourage him (with lots of swearing)
during their last year on the team richie gets eddie to dance with him at the awards banquet, he tries to pass it off as a joke but is so nervous he flubs it horribly and eddie realizes he's being earnest. they're both terrible at it and by the time they figure it out the song ends and moves on to a decidedly not romantic tune.
richie walks on deck barefoot and eddie loses his mind over it. it makes him so unbelievably mad, and the worst part is that richie never catches anything so eddie sounds like he's making stuff up but he is not (seriously guys he isn't, don't go to public pools without footwear!!!)
eddie has a really bad panic attack one time during a 200 fly (his goggles come loose and fill up with water + just the general exhaustion of that race making him feel like he's drowning) and richie can tell by his stroke and breathing pattern that somethings weird (this is not that strange btw, i could identify teammates i hardly spoke to by their shoulders, you just kind of get to know these things about people when you swim with them for so long) so he goes to meet him at the end of the race and helps calm him down even though he's racing in like 5 minutes lol, when eddie realizes this he snaps out of it immediately and shoos him away to go race.
they'll go to the tozier household after races and eat insane amounts of food. at first went and maggie were concerned but they eventually came to accept that feeding two swimmers is like feeding six regular people.
when richie's holding eddie's legs during sit ups he'll make kissy faces at eddie every time he completes a sit up (they're so stupid)
