that we don't have 400 and 800 meter butterfly events like the Aussies???

Just imagine-they probably have 400 and 800 meter breastroke as well!!!
Well thankfully, it has never had that effect here! :yawn:
I think most of the form stroke longer distances are done by those trying to get some sense of acheivement, it's fairly rare that the good 100 - 200 competitors bother to do them. (unless they want their name on yet another record)
They are also only offered on our event schedule once a year at the specific long distance meet. (thank goodness...who wants to sit through all of that at your local meet!? ) :laugh2:
That's fortunate. I can only imagine how long those 1500 and 800 meter breastroke events take!!!
