Never seen stairs in a lap pool.

If there were, and you were doing more than one lap, you'd knock the shit out of your knees when you turned at that end.

Dolphins don't have arms and seem to be doing just fine. I'd say he has an advantage.

i think it's real, but i don't think he's competing against fully functioning swimmers. the guy to his left looks as though he has suffered a stroke or something similar. he's swimming freestyle, but with only his left arm. and if you watch him on the launchpad thing (i have no idea what it's called), his stance makes it look like he launches from just his left leg. also, the guy to the right is swimming breast stroke and not freestyle, as if that is some sort of, well, handicap, no pun intended. seriously, no pun intended. and if you watch the guy with no arms step up onto the launch thing, i don't think somebody photoshopped off his limbs, his motion looks real.

why on earth have i just spent the last 15 minutes of my life on this? :confused i have to go clean the lint off my scotch tape now. and get the rocks out of the hubcaps of my car. :blah

I remember this, the kid has no arms and swims like flipper, its real and the kid is one hell of an atho- doing that shit. He might not have any arms but he has enough heart for us all.

stairs can be perpindicular to the direction you swim.

how about a crane?
