A few years ago I started lap swimming after quitting swimming at 20 years old back in 1977. I never thought I could swim butterfly and swim a 200 meter breastroke race and win my heat at a meet. I was an average age group swimmer as a kid and an average masters swimmer in the meets for my age. But the swimming helped me loose some weight. I think for many of us the swimming helps are conditioning. I know that sometimes I'm a pain in the butt writing about different subjects but I'm surprise that I able to do workouts again over the 3,000 yard mark. Anyone else who is one of the average swimmers feels that the physical benefits outweight being just one of the swimmers.
