The Front Crawl

I was out of breath after 10 laps of front crawl. Then when I paused to catch my breath, I scowled at the other swimmer in the pool.

His front crawl was amazingly powerful. He was really fast. Like a shark. He took like 35 seconds to do 50m. His flip turns were so precise that it only took no more than 2 seconds. Even when he slowed by the 8th lap, he was still doing it at 45 seconds per lap. He must have been a competitive swimmer.

I couldn't help but gawk. I finished up another 10 laps on the frog and left. He was still streaking through the waters.

I'm not sure if he is inspiring or demoralizing. Heh. Meanwhile, I'll just crawl along. Maybe I should just push myself a little more to get the most out of the session. Frogging it for 20 laps doesn't quite build the muscles. I've learnt that the front crawl gives me aching arms and builds pretty muscles. I like.
