Haven't swam since fall, just couldn't get myself to go back inside.{a ton of xcountry skiing}
What i have noticed.
Loss of some flexibility.
Slower healing of injuries.
Overall strength in upper body down a bit.
Have not been getting sick at all{ no germs from club]...only speculation of course.
Hair looks better not being chlorinated.
Breathing fresh air outside while working out much more invigorating than the evaporative chlorinated water.
I am getting ready to start swimming again. I love it . Just thought I would share.
One hell of a winter here in Michigan.
