Is Swimming Eating Its Young?

Is swimming "eating its young?" Are they being burned out with mindless yardage? Do they have to do volume training for long events? Are we missing masters swimmers who were burned out as youths? As to the kids, what can we do to stop the cannabalism?

  • Cross-training. :banana: You're not at your peak -- ridiculous. It seem to me that you're improving! :banana: True - just PB'd the mile this morning (but when you've only swum it once before, thats not too hard to do ;-P). Just trying to keep that peak further away! I love the bananas!
