Variation Swimming

Today, I was swimming around, and wondered, "man, the Olympics have been using the same swimming techniques for AGES." I mean, you have the breast-stroke, back-stroke, regular... reagular? you know what I mean... butterfly, diving. Can't the Olympics committee be a little more imaginative once in while. You know -- mix things up a bit. So many of the other competitive sports have had some new goodness introduced, even if it's just only concerning the ability of the athletes, as in the case of the quadruple axis in figure-skating. Some sport really don't have much to work with in terms of creating something new. Speed-skating is prety much what it will continue to be. Running. I'm not sure what you can do with that. And some new sports have been introduced such as Snowboarding. That's cool.

But swimming -- it seems like there's so much you could work with there. I invented 3 new ways to swim jus this evening. And yo ucould also have a breath holding contest. ... although I suppose Olympics are more likely to be described as a competition rather than a contest.

Still, I hope.
