Some designs need explaining. The Swimmer Shirt doesn't: it's a rat, it's about game day, and it's an original tee rather than a stock graphic.
Who the Swimmer Shirt is for
This one is aimed squarely at rec-league players and weekend competitors. It sits in the Sport part of the collection, alongside the other designs about game day.
Wearing and using it
It's a premium unisex tee, so the fit is relaxed rather than fitted, and it layers under a flannel or jacket without bunching. Sizes run XS–5XL.
As a gift
The reason this lands as a gift: it isn't a joke about the person, it's a joke they're already in on about game day.
From the listing
A funny swimmer shirt for swim team members, pool lovers and anyone who knows the struggle of catching their breath. The design features a scruffy chaotic rat clinging to the pool edge beneath the phrase “Breathing Is Overrated,” creating a relatable swimming humor tee and swimmer gift.
Our chaotic storybook rat has messy grey fur, oversized ears, a pink nose and the exhausted expression of someone who seriously underestimated the workout. The pool water, distressed ink lines and soft watercolor textures give the artwork a vintage hand-drawn character.
A memorable gift for swimmers, swim team members, pool lovers, swimming coaches and anyone who enjoys sarcastic sports humor. It works well as a birthday gift, swim team present, training-day shirt or casual graphic tee for people who would rather float than do another lap.

FAQ
Who is the Swimmer Shirt for?
It's made for anyone who takes the game seriously and themselves less so. The humor is self-directed rather than aimed at anyone, which is why it works both as something you buy for yourself and as a gift.
What sizes does the Swimmer Shirt come in?
Sizes XS–5XL. Every design in the collection runs the full range rather than stopping at XL, so there's no separate plus-size selection to hunt through.
What is it made from?
A premium unisex tee in Airlume combed and ring-spun cotton, DTG printed so the artwork sits in the fabric rather than on top of it. Available in black or white.
How much is the Swimmer Shirt?
From £17.50, depending on size. It's printed to order, and shipping is calculated at checkout based on your delivery address.
Is the artwork original?
Yes — every character starts as a hand-drawn sketch by ArtDesignByNora, in a vintage ink and watercolor style. Nothing in the shop uses templates, stock graphics or clip art.
