this is so inspiring, but at the same time makes me feel super lazy for ever giving up on anything ever... ever
araytaJul 12, 2010
I know. I feel bad for giving up even reading the whole article. :(

When you think something is impossible it becomes impossible.
oxidaneJul 12, 2010
well, he still has one arm. if he were to be missing both arms, impossible would be quite an objective term to use when talking about swimming.
unless its possible to swim with no arms, I'm no swimming expert.

Some time ago there was this really good invention called a life jacket. Now they have really comfortable ones called PFD's.

know what you call a boy with no legs and arms - who swims?
soulkiller117Jul 12, 2010
Gabe apparently.
revenger543Jul 11, 2010
Well duh, he's a fish. Fish don't have arms and legs and they practically live underwater.

It's story like this that makes me realize that I give up too easily.

enantiodromiaJul 11, 2010
He'd pretty much have to, no?
smemilyJul 11, 2010
People forget how much of swimming is core muscles, especially in strokes like Butterfly. This kid couldn't breaststroke though.

If the goal was to do as many doughnuts as possible maybe...

Also he has less drag

I think I would roll myself off a cliff if people suddenly stopped making friendly but highly demeaning jokes at my expense just because a few of my extremities were missing.

Unfortunately my brain is too slow to grasp the point of your rebuttle. Next time can you write a little slower?
But seriously though, being handicapped is nothing to laugh about. In fact I propose that our handicapped comrades should unite in revolution. End the oppression and create an equal playing field. Lop off everyone's limbs. Comment is buried, click here to see the rest.

rebuttal
Being handicapped IS something to joke about. I'm disabled myself, and I'd hate to have to stop laughing at myself. That would be a real handicap.
blingalingJul 15, 2010
@duchampfitz
By handicapped you mean you are mentally challenged right? I'm on your side you damn it.
But seriously though (for real this time). A physical handicaps must suck but in the end missing limbs are really more an inconvience more than anything else. I see making fun of handicapped people as sort of like having a fat buddy that you tease with overweight jokes. (although my personal fav is telling holocaust jokes to Jewish friends and a good gentlemen joke by someone black always makes me laugh) As long as it's not meanspirited as a method to ostracize someone, I believe that everyone should be treated equally abusively when it comes to humour.
So you have any good

It makes me sad that someone who has barely come to the world has to live through such a brutal reality. Six year olds should be running around kicking a ball, not be like this. :(

"He swims better than the other kids"...how do you figure? He finished second to last. (Did you read the article, or just the title?)
It's great that he's swimming, but he's no Mark Spitz.
alphareyxJul 12, 2010
25 yards in a little over a minute is better than most people?
No offense to the boy though, that is quite an accomplishment!
kanockJul 12, 2010
He's 6 years old dude, so yes it is better than most people.
phoroforJul 12, 2010
Inspiring story and a wonderful kid.
However, if you going to write an article, is it necessary to split every sentence into its own paragraph save for the first few? I feel like they were trying to write poetry and not a news article.
phillyocJul 12, 2010
It's all about the streamlining, man.

The article makes no mention of the jets he had surgically implanted in his stumps.

Gabe, you're amazing! :]

This is fantastic. I teach swimming lessons, and there are some 6 year olds that aren't comfortable fully submerging their heads, let alone swim a 25! (which is one pool length)

6 y/o Boy with NO Legs & 1 Arm Swims Better Than Most
He finished second to last, but I guess the title "6 y/o Boy with NO Legs & 1 Arm Swims Better Than One" doesn't sound as good.
