Actually Phares, you said "roll to avoid capsize."  I think I know what you
meant.  But then, you're a trial lawyer right?  You're messing with
us...right?

I roll in real life when I don't avoid capsize with a brace or "recovery"
stroke.  If I avoid the capsize, I can't roll; well, I could, but I don't,
because I would have to capsize, which as per your question, I'm trying to
avoid, which, as your question implies, I usually do; that is, I usually do
try to avoid capsize, when I do, I don't roll, because I don't have to.
