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???
I think I work hard. (Paul Wolf apparently thinks I'm insane.) As I said earlier, I'm not a fan of the fat burning cycle. But I can't do everything 100% as a sprinter. I do a lot of quality race pace work. But I also do a lot of drilling and technique work. Swimming is different then running that way. It's much more of a technique sport.
But I love to race. If I didn't compete in meets, I would swim much less and do other sports.
