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.
Yes, but good swimmers work out longer and therefore burn more calories.
exactly. you can't escape the laws of physics.

work = force times distance. if you expend alot of force, over a short distance, you did the same amount of work as doing little force over alot of distance. you need to expand alot of force over a greater distance to increase the unit of work, which will thus have a great calories use.
if my physics explanation sounds lousy, well, its been about 19 years since I took a class
