 Posted: 01/31/06 - 12:08 Post subject: Butterfly!
I did the butterfly stroke in the pool yesterday!
Key points:
I did not drown
I did get my head out on the kick so I could breathe/gasp
I did move forward
I did cover 25m
I did almost have a coronary when I reached the end of the pool
That stroke is nasty.
I'm sure that the only reason the butterfly stroke exists is to show off.
Now excuse me while I Ben-Gay my shoulders....

I'm so juvenile sometimes.
I applaud all swimmers. I want to do it, but I just can't.
