Calvyn - checking out your channel after seeing you with Ben Brown. WOW! Awesome job with your video - the videography, storyline, editing, production are totally on point. Putting that together with your behind the lens and in the head of Calvyn Justus perspective puts you on the medal stand of YT-vlogers. You've got a new sub' here along for your ride to #Toyko2020!
You were so amazing, and even as an American, I was cheering for you the whole way. You never cease to amaze me and to inspire me to be a better swimmer. You are truly the model for all young swimmers. I can't wait to see you again in 2020!!
It amazing to see you! I swim myself and you are one of my biggest inspirations. You keep me pushing and help me pursue my swimming career. Your videos are amazing and tysm for showing this :)
It's weird how you can be so proud of someone that you've never met! Love seeing this video of the Olympics from an athlete's perspective, it's so unique- bring on 2020!
Your smiles throughout the entire video look so genuine. Super exciting to see you accomplish such great things, feels like we're there with you! Well done Calvyn, congrats.
As a South African living in Canada, I just wanted to reach out and tell you how proud you have made us! You have shown the true spirit of being South African, and the true spirit of being an Olympian!!!!!
Calvyn, you are the reason I am going to do everything I can to reach my goal of swimming in the Olympics. You're so inspiring to me, and vlogs such as these ones always keep me reminded of what I'm working towards everyday. Thank you.
Wow, Calvyn! What a phenomenal experience. Thank you for sharing your journey with us! I feel like I was there. So damn proud. It just shows how hard work pays off. And that even though you didn't make the final, the experience was more important.
Serena Wang yes, but they are surrounded by professional swimmers. And in the case they are so focused on the race that they don't notice it, there are also a bunch of trainers who know how to handle that situation
I just want to say thanks for all of your videos. They help aspire and motivate me to perform better everyday. I know I will never be good enough for the Olympics but your motivation will help me reach my goals. Thanks.
How could anyone not like this video? Seriously? Calvyn, this was a superb behind-the-scenes look at the Olympics, from the eyes and heart of a competitor. Congratulations for representing your country and onward to Tokyo!
I can't imagine what it felt like walking into the village for the first time. Congratulations! I've been watching your videos for a couple of years and it's been cool seeing your journey to Rio.
Calvyn I just wanna say thank you for everything that you are, I'm so proud of you and I love you so much, I just wish you could stay in Brasil forever... I will miss you here, TE AMO, with love, Maria Elisa.
CONGRATULATIONS ON THE EXPERIENCE! this was a fantastic video seeing the city from your point of view. You did great and just be proud you made it there. Hope you keep working at it and 2020 isn't so far away :)
I'm so happy that you got that opportunity! I'm a young volleyball player who'd love to play for Team Canada one day, but know I won't be able to. Regardless, your videos give me hope😊❤️
+Sara M I'm female, 15, and 5'10. I'm tall, but not tall enough to be professional. Also, I don't play for a travel team, I only play at school and rec. beach volleyball. It's alright though😊
Calvyn I am a swimmer as well and the Olympics is my dream!!!!! I am 13 and I hope to go to the Olympics when I am 16. My best strokes are the fly and free. I am with the swim club Tide . I hope that you read this and respond because YOU, michael phelps , and chad le clos are my idols!!!!! Say hi to chad and MILES for me.
Nah everyone talks about the lifeguards at Olympic swimming being pointless as a competitive swimmer who competes nationally it’s very possible for a swimmer to black out or have a problem due to how hard their going so I do think it’s important to have a lifeguard on deck
Best experience, congratulations by getting there, u deserve it!!! I was a swimmer too, from brazil, raced some competitions, this video is so good, makes me feel, feel nostalgy and happy. Thank u so much!
I am really amazed with your video. It is very personal and that is a point that commercial videos can't show out. I loved watching this video in it's pure amateur form. I am also a swimmer and one day I hope I can do like you. Unfortunately in my country we don't have enough pools nor attention to the athletes that are not soccer. So we swimmers survive just us by ourselves.
I used to swim aswell for NTS on national level. My aim was to maybe swim olympics one day but I couldn't make it. Seeing this video gives me a sense of being there and experiencing a little bit of what an amazing journey you had to the olympics and it is very inspiring !! Thanks for sharing Calvyn !!
This video is so inspiring, just makes me want to achieve my goal of playing soccer for Team Canada in 2020 so much more. The hard work will be worth it.
I'm so proud of you Calvyn! I ordered a shirt that says "I ❤️ (map type thing of South Africa) Calvyn Justus" and I'm so excited for it to come in! I've talked about you to all my friends and how you're my favorite swimmer and my swim inspiration! Lots of love from America ❤️❤️❤️
Calvyn, you are so talented video-maker! So beautiful.... I enjoy every your video, but this one is my favourite now! I am glad of your participation in Rio, keep swimming to 2020!! Thank you for sharing your amazing life 😄

THE WOMEN FROM THE POST ABOUT HOW THERE'S LIFEGUARDS AT THE OLYMPICS AND HOW ITS POINTLESS WAS IN THE BACKGROUND AT 2:24
omg ur right!!! but if they drown because of tiredness, then it would be
omg yes!!!!
Serena Wang yes, but they are surrounded by professional swimmers. And in the case they are so focused on the race that they don't notice it, there are also a bunch of trainers who know how to handle that situation
Madison Albert-Nelson ikr
Dude if they get a cramp while swimming on some kind of a race and no one noticed that person then the life guard will save the person
I love the footage of you and your Dad wearing SA jackets and walking together! Special moment for reals!
I absolutely loved this video! So nice to have an inner perspective of the Olympic Games.
I just want to say thanks for all of your videos. They help aspire and motivate me to perform better everyday. I know I will never be good enough for the Olympics but your motivation will help me reach my goals. Thanks.
How could anyone not like this video? Seriously? Calvyn, this was a superb behind-the-scenes look at the Olympics, from the eyes and heart of a competitor. Congratulations for representing your country and onward to Tokyo!
Proud of you to come this far Cal! and as always thank you for being my inspiration to continue swimming and becoming a NYC lifeguard.

Brilliant job Calvyn, amazing achievement you worked so hard for! Bring on 2020🏊🏼🏊🏼
I think this may be my favourite vlog I've ever watched. Thanks for letting us see Rio through your eyes bro and well done!

This video is so inspiring, just makes me want to achieve my goal of playing soccer for Team Canada in 2020 so much more. The hard work will be worth it.

with any doubts, this is your best video, more of these please 😃
wow!! I can't get over this cinematography :ooooo so good! x
Congratulations! I saw you in the semifinal, and you did a great race! Sure we'll see you in Tokyo 2020!
