How many here are sprinters and how many long distance swimmers?
Former Member
I just wanted to have an idea about the number of sprinters compared to the number of long distance swimmers here..
1: sprinter
2: long distance swimmer

Actually it was more like envy rather than contempt. I mean, 1000 or 1650 yards of pain vs. 50 or 100 yards? Anyway, lactate and lactic acid are one and the same. It's the byproduct of anaerobic metabolism which begins when the muscle cells are deprived of oxygen. Do these results reflect differences in training, in which case a distance swimmer could become a sprinter?
