olympic street swimmer

People that are clearly on a good one, possibly haven't slept in a long while. They look as if they are doing the back stroke, while walking/speed walking, no water involved. They have a serious look on their face, they seem to be determined to get wherever they are going and nothing can do them, until that moment that comes out of no where, when all that arm flailing of the back stroke, takes on a life all it's own, and they abruptly stop walking and break it into a sort of freestyle Noodle Grove. (They are as caught off guard as the onlooker. )
All though it is not yet an official Olympic sport, it has not deterred this small group of people nation wide, from training. As soon as a proper scoring system has been decided upon, for example; degree of difficulty, transition from Street Swimming into the free style Noodle Grooving, over all execution, we will have to wait for it to be brought to the world at large. Right now there are too many variables to be judged and scored accurately.

I was driving down the main street on my way to the store, when my kids spotted an Olympic Street Swimmer, when we at the stop light. My oldest said, "wow that guy looks like a cat with tape on it's feet!", Her sister said," NO! That's an Olympic Street Swimmer! Wait for it ...." We couldn't look away. Then all of a sudden, he stopped and did a rendition of a break dance move none of us had seen before, and he looked like he was trying to chew on his shoulder. The girls grabbed some paper and a sharpie and both held up their score cards. One gave an 8.3 and the other an 8.5. they applauded and the light turned green, we talked about this all the way through the store and all the way back home we looked for others in training.
