The issue is not whether Nicky_94 was offended, is it that the word can be harmful, despite your intentions. It's best just to say sorry and stop using it.
That said, you might want to try swimming freestyle (crawl) - it always helped me keep my tummy in check.
I think apologies means the same thing? It was Melanie Cheeks I was saying sorry to incase I had offended her.
Thank you for the swimming tip
