This video was originally introduced in the "garbage yards" thread a couple of weeks ago. It is quite amazing (beyond amazing) and I feel that it deserves its own thread.
One of the posters in these forums, GGS5T, is a guy named Graham Short who lives in England. In the "garbage yards" thread he casually mentioned that he has a specific, work-related reason for why he swims 10,000 meters per day. And his reason is, well, remarkable. You have to see it to believe it.
Be sure to watch the whole thing - you're missing out if you don't get to the part with the stethoscope...

And for my part can I say Graham is an excellent Masters coach as well
At a time when I was recovering from a serious accident, unable to do very much at all and could barely manage 4 strokes of fly , he was convinced I could put on a pair of fins and swim a 50 LCM -
There were huge puffs of indignation and mutterings of madness from yours truly
However he made me sit by myself on the poolside and spend time visualising what it must be like to swim a 400m fly - I got in and to my complete astonishment ( and that of my friends ) - made that 50 :notworthy:
