>>Backstroke - After you old boy.
>>Breaststroke - Sorry madam, I do apologise.
>>Butterfly - Are you sure that's allowed in here?
>>Race - Gosh! Have they started already?.
>>Win - (There is no English English word for this)

Thanks.
No, it's not too much.
Quiz is for the kids I coach. We have a number of them with other
langiuages as a mother tongue, and I wished to surprise them with
their own language as an advantage in the quiz; the more langauges I
get, the better I will be prepared for the next kid from outer
where-ever.
