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.

And the fallacy there is where exactly? LOL! :rofl: (only j/k now guys....or am I??)

:rofl:Very funny, Jimbo. People don't swim breastroke for two reasons: it feels too slow, and it is hard to do (lots of time underwater, ya know?) But the good news is there is no bilateral breathing :rofl:.
