OK,not at the same time but how much do you drink each week/day and how does it affect your swimming/times.I have recently cut down from moderate amounts each day to only moderate amounts at the weekend and also managed to cut my 1500m swim by 1 minute!!!!!

You have to have heart and desire, which is what Mike Maclaughlan told me before I beat Clarke Scholes in the 100. George Park www.swimdownhill.com
