Florida State Varsity, Breaststroke. Class of '62. When we were whomping the other side I got to swim in the 4x 100 relay :)

And when we get in the pool they know "we just didn't learn to swim" ;)

I used stroke breasts better than most men on earth.
But years out of water have added some girth.
Now me in a speedo would get laughs to no end.
But to the erg I have turned to reverse this trend!

A fellow Breaststroker here...although from a different generation than Bob. Floated around more in the '96 - '01 range
