I am so not happy about Fox giving her this hosting gig. Then again, I was always on Team Evans when the Janet Evans and Summer Sanders feud was happening. The sports media never portrayed Matt Biondi and Tom Yaeger(don't remember his last name that well) feuding with each other.

I assume they were all practicing fishlike swimming. Perhaps someone should tell Bowman not to refer to it as a "workout."

Actually they did some underwater drills. Much like you see Michael Phelps on TV when he pushes off the walls to get the best possible breakout distance from the streamlining on his side with his body extended from his dolphin kicking. He was doing 25's kicking on his left side, then another 25 kicking on his right side, then a 25 kicking on his back. He did some full stroke fly after this, again going underwater streamlining to get the best distance before surfacing and swimming 6 strokes to complete the 25. Was that fishlike swimming? Maybe, I don't know. You should try it and ask yourself.
When he was swimming free he seemed to be concentrating on perfect form, long strokes, good rotation, balance position in the water, etc. Was he slippery swimming and guilty of fishlike swimming? I wasn't about to ask him that at the meet and greet at the end of the meet because I had already asked him a stupid question about the 10 million.
Gull, are you now a born again swimmer and have been converted to being a slippery swimmer? A while back you did make a confession about this when you were warming down from a main set and concentrating on proper mechanics. Plus your friend and rival as referred to you as TI Pigeon God.
