#swimming: Was probably the most relevant topic identified. I guess that is because my topic is about swimming. There were a lot of posts about people swimming training, swimming competitions, pleasurable activities to do with swimming and swimming techniques. There were also posts about swimming equipment and companies like speedo and Arena. 


#SwimmingWorldCup: The next most relevant topic identified was the swimming world cups currently taking place around the world. This is relevant to my topic because I am a competitive swimmer there for being up to date or showing an interest in the competitive world would be an important hashtag.


#Justdoit: The just do it hash tag is also a relevant topic I identified because my topic talks about my experiences as an athlete and I also provide motivational tips for other athletes to apply in their careers and the justdoit campaign by Nike had a lot of motivational content related to sports


#Tokyo2020: Finally, tokyo2020 was a prominent topic I identified because a lot of athletes around the world are preparing their bodies and minds for this major Olympic event and by doing so they are sharing a lot of their experiences and knowledge about their training, diet and daily routine. 

One of my posts inspired a single retweet from a fellow swimmer who lives in America.


My experience on twitter was interesting to say the least, I found lots of relevant topics and athletes who are sharing and contributing to the world of sport in very much the same way as I am. It is a good feeling to know that you are not alone in the boat of sport because practicing a sport can be come a very lonely place thus it is a good feeling to know that there is a strong participatory culture in the twitter world of sport where athletes looking for guidance or new tips and tricks can go to.
