My problem with swimming butterfly (aside from getting a breath) is getting my arms out of the water. That’s more like “over my shoulder blades” than over my head. They best butterflyer on my team could grab one of those little white gym towels held between his hands and rotate his hands down, under his feet, back up behind his back and over his head without letting go (or struggling). He did it to “loosen up before the race”. Intimidated the heck out of me…
I swam butterfly and backstroke competitively in my teens. Forty-five years later, I’m plagued by adhesive capsulitis (aka Frozen Shoulder), severely limiting range of motion. If you swam either of those strokes, advise your doctor. Stretching exercises can prevent or cure the condition.
Butterfly is one of those things that if you don’t learn it when you’re young you probably never will, hell I was on swim team from when I was 6 and I never got the hang of it.

If Caulfield really wants to know what color the brothers were, he could just check their Facebook pages.

Was Erik part of the old communist regime in Soviet Russia?

His brothers were Gandalf the Grey and Radagast the Brown.
Actually, there is evidence concerning his siblings. He may not have had any.

Butterfly’s good for the last lap. Dolphin kick is good too for an underwater lap at the end. I need to get back in the pool…

I wonder if Frazz participated in The Moth, and if so what story he told. Or did he just get the t-shirt?

Yeah, I really liked this one.

I think “now” should go between “and” “I.”

Way to call attention to the lack of color in this rerun. Depending on the loading, apparently.
