What's wrong (or misleading) with this quote?

Quote in the local newspaper from the high school state champion in the 100 yard freestyle (conducted in a 25 yard pool): "On the third lap of my 100, I breathed twice in a row and I shouldn't have done that." Dan

  • I'd say "I took 2 breaths in a row." It might also be misleading to call a length a lap. I've always been under the impression that down and back was a lap. Seriously, this is pretty picky since the quote communicated to me was the kid was trying to say. I try to give kids in competitive situations a break. (especially fast ones in O2 debt)
