Swimming Myths

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.

    Swimming adds muscle to the delts, creates more sweep in the lats, and tones the muscles of the misdsection and this all adds to the appearance of a narrow waist and width at the shoulder. That's no myth...I think that is what you were inferring though.
