What is your resting heart beat, upon waking up in the morning?
Do intensive swimming result in lower rates than persistent fitness swimming?

Mine's been in the low/sub 40 range for several years for as long as I've been smart enough to be aware of it's significance (i.e. when I started to care about getting in shape, though I never used it as a workout tool/determinant. Just curiosity).
But for me too, my running is much more extensive than swimming.
I would LOVE to see peer-reviewed research on how swim training affects the cardiovascular system, ventalitory (sp?) rate/capacity, etc. in comparison with swimming. I feel like the implicit breathing control could induce some type of specific training effect?
