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?

Bottom line, if you are swimming 3,000 to 5000 yards in an hours workout, you do not have to worry about losing aerobic benefits.
Right, but I'm not sure that applies to lapswimmer. I suspect that many fitness swimmers do not work out long enough or hard enough, hence the claim that you can't lose weight swimming.
