water-an upright breaststroke without the kick, one that also maximizes water resistance. Over the years and through various translations into multiple languages, elaborate claims attached themselves to Bernardi's method, the most remarkable being that a swimmer could cover three miles an hour using it. That is, roughly twenty minutes a mile—a remarkable claim given that as late as the 1932 Olympics, the first and second place finishers in the 1,500-meter freestyle, Kusuo Kitamura of Japan and America's Buster Crabbe, finished just on either side of twenty minutes. Just as remarkable, swimming scholars were still debating whether the sport was best done horizontally or vertically as late as 1867, when the Australian swimming champion Charles Steedman finally put the matter to bed by citing the humble seahorse: "There is but one well known exception to the rule that fishes retain a horizontal position when swimming. It is the Hippocampus, or sea-horse, which swims vertically or in an upright position. But as it is probably the slowest of all fishes in its progress, it serves to strengthen the argument in favour of horizontal swimming." Serves to strengthen the argument? How could there ever have been a question? And remember, this was only a century and a half ago. Greek and Roman swimmers from antiquity time-traveling into the Bernardi controversy might have thought they'd landed among a people with Stone Age reasoning powers. One suspects that Bernardi himself vertical-swam in his imagination only. Five minutes in the water would have put his method to
