It appears Caitlin Clark is more than just a determined and accomplished professional basketball player. She also knows the value of rest and relaxation — both vital in the lives of those who are considered to be among the fittest people on the planet.
We know this because photos of Clark with her Indiana Fever teammates in bikinis have gone viral. Apparently, Clark and her fellow WNBAers were vacationing in Mexico as the U.S. gears for its run in the Olympics. So the league is on hiatus.
To the dismay of some, Clark was left off Team USA.
"However, she doesn't seem to be sweating missing the Paris Olympics,' wrote Craig Garrett of Suggest. "The 22-year-old phenom traveled south this week with several of her Indiana Fever teammates to enjoy some well-deserved relaxation as the WNBA temporarily pauses its season for the Olympics.

"Clark, Lexie Hull, and Katie Lou Samuelson recently jetted off to what many believe is Cabo. It wasn't long before the ladies donned their bikinis and took to the water."
Samuelson posted pics of her and Clark in her Instagram stories, captioning the picture, "Just a couple of mermaids." The two were floating on a raft, with Clark sporting a brown bikini and giving the double-peace sign.
"This has put a smile on my face. Caitlin is so deserving of down-time," one fan wrote, via Garrett.
"Our Mermaids! At least we still get Caitlin Clark content during the break. I was having severe withdrawal symptoms!" a second fan added.
"The last thing Caitlin needs right now is grinding. She needs that break," a third added.
Clark was the No. 1 overall pick in the WNBA Draft after a stellar career at Iowa. She is averaging 17.1 points, 5.8 rebounds, and 8.2 assists and became the first rookie in league history to record a triple-double.
