  • Fish tail! It's been a long time since I heard that term, but that's what it was in the mid-fifties when I started swimming. One of my early swim meet friends was a master of fish-tail: Carl Roby, who won the 200 meter fly at the 68 games, at the then advanced age of 23. When I started, we referred to the new Breaststroke as Orthodox Breaststroke. Anyone else heard of that term, or is it just the delusion of an aging frog-kicker!
