    It is a sight few have seen. So Jordan Kirbyson did what any 21st-century man would.ย  He whipped out the camera gear he happened to have with him and started recording.

    “We see this object in the water,” said Kirbyson. “So I stand up and say, ‘Hey, there’s something in the water.’ Yeah, I thought maybe it could be a deer.”

    Kirbyson and a neighbor, Chris Quinlan, had just finished water skiing on Lake Whatcom Sunday morning; his dad was acting a spotter.

    “So I just flipped around and we slowly approached it,” said Quinlan.

    “And it wasn’t until we got closer,” said Kirbyson, “That we actually saw the cat’s ears.ย  And we’re like.ย  It’s a cougar. So it was pretty incredible.”

    The butterfly is generally regarded as the hardest of the four major swimming strokes to perfect. In that case, itโ€™s difficult to understand how anyone could even attempt to do it backwards. In this video, Norwegian swimmer Eirik Ravnan performs a flawless looking version of the stroke, while facing the wrong way down the pool.

    – Wait for it … towards the end, the video is played backwards
