Why Are They Calling Summer McIntosh a “Brat”?

Summer McIntosh isn’t afraid to show how much she hates losing—and the Night Swim crew absolutely loves that competitive mentality. After Summer was criticized and called a “brat” and a sore loser for openly expressing her disappointment, Dax and Elvis question whether she’s being judged by a different standard because she’s a young female swimmer. Is it really bad sportsmanship, or is it simply the attitude of a champion who expects more from herself? They break down the backlash and why they believe Summer should own it. 🌙 Night Swim Podcast When the pool lights go out, the real talk begins. Hosted by Dax Hill (NCAA champ, Texas Longhorns legend, high-performance technique guru @Reykli) and Elvis Burrows (Bahamian Olympian, national record holder, founder of Burrow's Best swimmer hair and skin care), Night Swim is unfiltered swim culture — NCAA battles, Olympic tea, training hacks, and pool-deck chaos. No scripts. No PR. Just two Black swimmers who’ve seen it all, saying what everyone else whispers. New episodes weekly. Grab your goggles, hit subscribe, and dive in. #NightSwimPod #Swimming
