What's are your favorite crosstraining activities? Do you like it for general overall fitness or because it specifically benefits your swimming? Explain.
SwimmieAvsFan is a good example for specialization. She quit soccer and basketball early in her youth to swim. She excelled in her youth and thoughout High School and she was "outstanding" enough to swim in college. She continues to rank highly in the USMS top 10.
actually, it wasn't basketball, it was volleyball. :D
i discovered at an early age that my hand-eye coordination was somewhat lacking. and that the ground is slightly less forgiving that the water... :rofl:
(i had broken my arm 3 times before i had even finished 5th grade...)
