    Originally posted by SWinkleblech I agree. Unless I try sleep swimming!:D It doesn't work, you end up breathing water. Yes I know this for fact - I have actually fallen asleep DURING practice. Safety note: during morning practice; not a good idea when kicking to put a pull bouy on your board and lay your head on pull bouy - sleep soon follows.

Wow, my wife thinks I can fall asleep anywhere, but this tops anything I have done.

    I get tired, but it's a good tired. I've found, oddly, that I have more energy to complete a workout in the morning or at lunch than if I try to swim in the evenings. I look forward to getting myself in the kind of shape where I can REALLY wear myself out with a 3000-yd workout! Goooood morning! -Sparky

    This poll needs more types of choices. Not everyone is fatigued after swimming. Personally, my response would be "energized" Other possibilities include: "relaxed" "hungry" "late for work" :) Swimmer Bill

    I get really tired after my workout...but i just sleep it off in my biology class and then I wake up and feel 100% awake and ready to take on the world!:D ~Kyra p.s. Hungry definately needs to be an option!!

    If I swim in the morning, I'm totally energized for the day. If I swim at noon and go back to work, it relieves stress. If I swim at night, then I need an hour our two (or three) before I can go to sleep. If I swim on Sat. morning, it sets my whole day right. And I always have coffee after I swim, unless it's at night! (no rhyme intended!) PS: dang...I wish I had a biology class to fall asleep in...(sigh);)

    5:30-6:30am is a great way to wake up. Not too many people at the pool at that time. 3000 yards and I'm ready for the day, just as long as I get my poptarts and coffee.
