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.

hmm I 've gone from 193 to 180 since Thanksgiving. I've eaten well not avoided anything and swam 3x a week for about 2000-2500Y a swim.
I've had just the opposite experience.:mad: Because of a nerve problem in my left arm I had to cut out swimming since the start of the year. I've done a lot of kick sets and some other stuff, but still managed to gain 10 pounds.
