Conor Dwyer's Talents
Hi guys!! After not had
been here for a while, we are back with a whole new blog. But before start with
this, we have to say that we miss you so much and we are so sorry we couldn't
be here as much as we wanted this summer. And now that we are here we hope you
like and enjoy this blog as much as we enjoy doing it for you.
This time we are talking about Conor Dwyer's talents and yes you read it right,
it's not a secret to anybody that Conor is such an amazing swimmer and one of
the most hansome as well, but he has so many other talents that prove how
versatile this guy can be, from DJing to surfing going through hockey and video
games, down below we listed some of his secret and not so secret talents, so if you want to found out about it, all
you have to do is to keep reading. Been said all that, let's
get started!!
To begin with this, let's talk about Conor and that DJ thing that seems he
really likes, we've told you about this in a previous blog, so you might
remember he has taken this farther than you think, and yeah!! He has had many
chances to prove his talent as a DJ in some parties being the special DJ guest
as he did in Orlando, but this does not end here, he has even DJing next to one
of his favorites DJs Cedric Gervais and he even was on stage with him mixing
some music, so if that happen we'd like to think he has some experience as a DJ
and who knows maybe he is actually a very good mixer and if he doesn't it
really doesn't matter because we still want him to be our guest DJ at any party
and we are sure we are not the only ones, so one last question for Conor
Dwyer!! Would you like to DJ at our birthday party? Haha just kidding.
Second talent include in this list is baseball!!! And this sounds kind of weird
to all of us but we promise you this is for real. Conor has been a baseball player
since he was just a little kid and this is actually a sport that so many
members of the Dwyer family play since they were children and we don't know how
good they are but one thing is for sure and that's that they look really cute
in that baseball outfits, don't they?

And now that we talk about baseball some of you might remember he is a huge fan
of the Chicago Cubs and on August 14, 2012 he throw the first pitch before the
game between the Chicago Cubs and the Houston Astros, and also on August 25,
2012 Conor throw out the first pitch before a White Sox game (here you can enjoy the video ), so as you can read Conor is pretty much a celebrity in his
hometown that's why he's invited to that kind of events. Good for him is all
that we can say about it!!
The next one more than being a talent we think is more like a hobby and we are
referring to surfing!!
Even though we included in
this list just because for some reason we have the feeling he's good at it
since the Dwyer family has a beach house in Tampa Florida so we have reasons to
think he had time to practice surfing so much... and well... you know what
people say: practice makes perfect hahaha.
And if we are making a list about Conor's talents of course we couldn't get out
of this SWIMMING!! And well we all have witnessed this one through his swimming
career, as an example you have that just a few days ago he won a gold medal in
the 4x200 free relay, a silver in the 200 free and another silver for help the
team to make it to finals in the 4x100 free relay in Barcelona and we could say
so much about this but we are sure you already know it so we don't want you to
get bored and that's why we just want to let you enjoy the next pics and... You’re
welcome ;-)
Continuing with the list, it’s not a secret (at least
to us) that Conor likes playing golf; he started playing it since he was just a
little baby, according to him “he has been killin it since 89 in the putt putt
golf game”. As you can read, he has been gifted with golf skills and that’s why
golf has been part of his life and also of the rest of the Dwyers.
He has practiced this sport all his life and that
makes us think he is an amazing golfer. And now, with some tips from Michael
Phelps (his new roommate and also great golf player) he should have improved
his golf skills.
We’re not the best playing golf, but we would
definitely love to play golf with Conor someday haha.

Conor has expressed several times that he’s a fan of
hockey; maybe you have seen his tweets of unconditionally support to his
favorite ice hockey team, the Chicago
Blackhawks, so that gives us an idea of how much Conor likes ice hockey.
Conor grew up playing hockey, actually every Christmas
Conor and all his family play ice hockey together, it’s a tradition.
As a curious fact, Conor is a good friend of Patrick
Sharp (player of the Chicago Blackhawks) and also of John Moore (player of the
New York Rangers). John Moore and Conor grew up playing hockey together, but John
was a little better than him haha.
Conor has practiced hockey since childhood (as you
just read) so he must be a great hockey player but he had a bad night last
April 20th, when he was invited to shoot the puck at the Chicago
Blackhawks game. It was a great honor for him being there, so sorry his shoot
wasn’t the best, here's the video so you can see his technique wasn't the best. But that doesn’t matter; he still looked flawless wearing his
Chicago Blackhawks jersey.
It seems like swimmers love video games; we have
witnessed Ricky Berens, Matt McLean, Tyler McGill, Nathan Adrian, Austin
Surhoff and of course Conor Dwyer tweeting one another about video games. Those
conversations are hilarious, so we’re looking forward to seeing more of them
soon.
As you can read, Conor is not the exception and he
likes video games, because we could also see a video on Instagram of he and
Michael Phelps playing Call of Duty; it seems like they had so much fun that
day. We bet lots of girls would pay for being there hanging out with Conor and
Michael (good looking guys playing video games it’s priceless).
All of them are experts playing video games and it
seems like they are kind of obsessed with that. And Conor is a good example, because
when he was invited to the Olympic Training Center in Colorado, Conor and Matt
McLean carried their own TVs and video games with them, so they could play
after practice every day.
We don’t know you guys, but we can’t stop laughing
every time we see this pic, it shows the true love Conor has for video games
hahaha.
Maybe we have said this before but Conor has a great
talent in photography; just take a look on his Instagram to prove it. He always
tries to find the best shot of every picture and his job editing them is
amazing. Food, dogs, sunglasses, sneakers, pools, landscapes, family pics and
even selfies (great selfies btw) are the pictures Conor has posted on
Instagram. All of them are simply beautiful, especially his shirtless pictures
haha.
He has the ability to turn something very simple in to something really
beautiful.
We’ll tell you a little secret, Conor’s Instagram
account is one of our favorites because he always surprises us with every
picture he posts, even though he sometimes deletes them haha.

As you could read Conor has been gifted with so many
talents but our favorite one will always be swimming (you know, tiny speedos
haha! Just kidding). He has improved his swimming a lot so we’re sure we will
be able to see Conor swimming for a long time…
Well, that is all for today, hope you like it and thank
you so much for reading.
See you next time!
