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."

The original question was, "What's wrong (or misleading) with this quote?" The whole lap/lapped/length :worms: is neither wrong nor misleading. At best, it's confusing. A mere distraction. Of no consequence.
What's wrong (or misleading) about the quote, is the belief you shouldn't breathe every stroke in 100 free.
According to our own Water Rat,
I asked this exact question to Nathan Adrian a few months ago. His response? He breathes every stroke in a 100 free but not at all in a 50 free. He's been pretty successful at that distance I'd say. :)
And who is to argue with Water Rat, much less Nathan Adrian?
