Some of you may remember a newbie to these forums from several years back, Couroboros, an intriguing user name that, if memory serves me, refers to a creature chasing him own tail. Mr. Couroboros thought this aptly metaphorical for pool swimming, where one goes back and forth endlessly above a black line.
At the time, he was overweight and a total neophyte to swimming. He asked for, and received, no shortage of advice from many generous and encouraging members of this forum. Now, three years later, he has written about his new sport in a great short essay here:

Mr. Couroboros: you do swimming proud! Keep on chasing your tail in the years to come.
I have been told that we all have quite remarkable looking abs. It is just that for the majority of us they lie hidden behind a blubbery blanket never to be revealed. Yours have been disrobed, so to speak.
I also think that genetics have a lot to do with whether the blubbery blanket can be removed or not. Some -- like Mr. C. -- appear to be excellent exercise responders. But even Muhammad ALi in prime fighting weight had a nice blanket of dough--I wouldn't call it a quilt, more of a throw.
