What Some Regard as One of the Most Amazing Athletic Feats in History Took Place on Errol’s Property.
Here are some clues to what it was:
1) It involves an Olympic Sport, but did not occur during competition.
2) Water is involved.
3) A future president had a connection to it.
— Tim
He swam against Ronald Reagan or he fenced with him underwater.
Right you are regarding Ronald Reagan’s involvement, twinarchers, but The Gipper was involved only as an observer, not an athletic participant. Nor was any fencing involved, though it could be said that “swords” were around at the time, though not the kind used in fencing.
Here are some more clues about the feat:
1) Was performed during the late 1930s.
2) Has never been replicated.
3) Was performed by someone who dominated his sport to a degree rarely if ever seen before or since.
In this building, Errol’s friend and the immortal sports hero of our story, is inducted:

Though no art-film, like shangheinz’s Pandora released the very same year, the title of this Bogart-film provides a major clue as to the name of Errol’s property, where the amazing feat took place:

This amazing feat was recorded live and included in a film that was nominated for an Academy Award seventy-five years ago. The film title has two words in it, but would have had the exact same meaning had those two words been combined into one. Two primary cast membes, the star and the narrator, both had alliterative first and last names.
