That was pretty interesting. He said that the guy in the red cap looked like my stroke or something... I didn&amp;#39;t see any resemblance. The guy in the red cap actually WAS swimming breaststroke. You and I just do something that gets us down to the other end of the pool :)
Allen did tell me that I was one of the fastest &amp;quot;all arms&amp;quot; breaststrokers he&amp;#39;s seen in a while.&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: June Gridge Thread</title><link>https://community.usms.org/thread/163012?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Mon, 13 Jun 2011 12:54:38 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">3187ac58-ba85-4314-b79a-c45cd885e09a:beb46d18-f049-4815-9125-b82ac25dd7f2</guid><dc:creator>That Guy</dc:creator><description>Thanks!

You managed to make all the videos I believe.  1 in the water with us, and the other 4 you were on deck watching the action.  Probably should have to pay you as an actor now.

Nacho Libre&amp;#39;s been doing a little cross training at the end of this week.
