hmm...
i'm not enough of a swimmer to be bowled over by his form. i take your word for its awesomeness.

i was pretty impressed by the comments, though. somebody asks why it's mirrored, and somebody else says they have no idea. have they really never seen the underside of the water-air boundary act like a mirror? i mean, we don't even have to go into refractive indices--have they never just, *seen* the phenomenon? (guess not).

The part at the beginning, when he's returning to the surface, is pretty awesome, but I bet I could learn how to do that in a few days.

you'd better make it back to the surface in less than a few days, or you're going to run out of air.

Good point, Bitzer! Gosh, how could we have missed that.

Part of the learning process would be extensive lessons in breath control.

Well I can't do that now. When I was young, however . . . . (Not even close, really. That's pretty darn impressive.)

Great YouTube video of Ian Thorpe, which brought up references to even better other ones of him. -- Was reminded of the great athlete Jim Thorpe!
