I overheard some ladies talking yesterday and instructing their kids not to get in the ocean. Here are two of their reasons: 1) they just had lunch and lady said you'll get cramps, you can't swim for an hour, and 2) your face will turn to scales while food is in your stomach.
Later, a young woman was advising me on my newest problem, leg cramps, and she told me it was impossible for me to get leg cramps because I wasn't sprinting. She said that leg cramping is caused from dehydration and only a person who sprints will get dehydrated; not distance people, so she suggested I see a doctor.
We all know these are pretty ridiculous, have you overheard anyone advising others about "their myths?" The people making these comments were from England.

Leslie, there is more illusion than measurable differences in the wide shoulder myth. Let's call it "body sculpture" which when it is the result of swimming stays there contrary to the other "body sculpture" (which I have seen my fair share) done by a scalpel and some lipo suction.
Swimming won't make you lose weight (within a reasonable one hour a day training) is not a myth, however you look better even though your weight is the same. Gotta go run or lift weights to get some of the weight off.
I carry about three goggles, one pair fins, maybe a snorkel and mask, and my new swimp3 to practice. I am obcessed with having clear goggles. I have the speedo liquid thing and I also shampoo my goggles with baby shampoo. I also carry about three or more pairs of ear plugs.
