Everyone talks about overtraining, but what exactly is it and when do you know you're overtrained and what do you do about it?

I think I have an example. When I first started swimming over a year ago, I tried 5 swims a week. This was probably too much for an out-of-shape newbie. That fall and winter I must have come down with a cold half a dozen times (most years I ordinarily get one or two). I think it was a sign of overtraining.
