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.
When we go to practice we float up and down and splash around ...
Sprinters have it easy ... if you belive this I'll give you some sprinter workouts to change your mind
What a joke myth! Sprinters work very hard and endure painful workouts! Quality sprint workouts wear me out much faster than a lot of garbage yardage.
Distance workouts are hard too, don't get me wrong. I tried to do one yesterday and got about halfway through a pyramid and said "forget this" because I felt my stroke falling apart!
Quality not quantity is my motto
Myth - You can't lose weight swimming.
NOT TRUE! When I quit swimming in college, I gained quite a bit of weight. The only way I took it back off was when I got back in the water!
