Are you swimming for pleasure when you are traning?
I swim for relaxation.
I swim for fitness.
I swim to keep my blood pressure down.
I swim to lower my blood sugar.
Do I need to split my gut like so many of you are doing???
Are you swimming for pleasure when you are traning?
Sure. (Why else do it? No one is holding a gun to my head.)
Do I need to split my gut like so many of you are doing???
Not unless you want to. (Are these trick questions?:dunno:)
Maybe you are getting at the fact that there seem to be two broad types of masters swimmers: those who swim for fitness and those who like to compete and track their times. For many years I swam mostly for fitness and competed only occasionally, not caring all that much about times. More recently I've tried it the other way, setting goals and taking more time to consider the nature of the training to get faster. Both ways are very enjoyable.
