    Yo, I'm a swimmer. A breastroker to be more specific. Good at IM. I just wanna know if there's any penspinning swimmers out there. Especially in PA, USA. I know it doesn't really make sense for a swimmer to spin pen. (we're wet all the time and slippery).

    You are manipulating the body in weird ways (i think) to move in the water. Especially butterfly. I don't know how much of swimming is known to non-swimmers but butterfly is pretty manipulative.

    When people talk about manipulative art, it's more in the lines of you manipulate something that isn't you. eg. juggling, cardistry, pen spinning, yo-yo, cup stacking, etc If moving your arms in water is considered a manipulative art then running and pretty much any sport is too.

    Just to clear some stuff up Vedyl, swimming is a hard sport. It is a skill. It takes years of swimming to perfect one stroke. There are over 50 styles of breastroke and that's just one stroke. Just ask ShadowParadox. Hes a swimmer. He'll back me up.
