I heard some where way back that if you are doing a exercise like swimming for the aerobic benifit. If you stop for more then 15 seconds ..say to talk to someone..you lose the benifit from the aerobic part of workout.. Any one heard about this?

    Sweetenham (Championship Swim Training) and Maglischo (Swimming Fastest) both say that 15-20 sec rest is typical for aerobic sets, as long as the repeat distance and set length are sufficiently long. Longer rest intervals allow you to swim faster, outside of the aerobic zone.
