A study reported in this month's Journal of the American College of Cardiology showed that rats who previously swam six days weekly for seven weeks (90 min. sessions) had smaller scars and better heart function (compared to couch potato rats) when given an experimental heart attack.
The article didn't mention whether they used kick boards, which are of course evil, but I believe they were unshaved.

Can rats do butterfly? And is a 90-minute swimming session for a rat the equivelant of a 90-minute session for a human?
And it just reminds me of one of the things I have on my office wall, from "Everything I need to know I learned from Harry Potter", which is "if you make a better rat than human, don't boast".
