I saw someone post this picture in r.s.s. Apparently, the guy was upset that he wasn't let in a pool in Czechoslovakia where he was visiting (he's from the U.S.) Have you seen these kind of signs elsewhere? Not that I'm against them, I'm perfectly fine wearing the "approved" attire.

I have heard reports of North American Indians swimming crawl style. But apparently it took it's competitive foothold from Australians who learned it from polynesians.
Thereafter it got adopted by other competitors and swept the world. So you could say that the polynesians "invented it" or more correctly the crawl stroke that wa spopularized is derived from that of the polynesians.
Much like archniedes discovered a way to integrate HUNDREDS of years before Newton and Liebniz. But since it was never taken up by anyone other than Archimedes, we say that Newton and Liebniz "discovered' calculus.
