I bet that your legs were shaped/sculpted differently too. The thinner part may have to do with the type of resistance training you got as a runner compared to what you get as a swimmer. As a runner (especially a distance runner), you tend to reach the point where your body runs out of glycogen and begins to burn fat. It sounds like you do less of that type of exercise while swimming, i.e. extended periods of aerobic activity.
I use fins to help build up my kick and stretch my ankles. I think my lane mates would agree that I'm not lazy or a loafer. Something gives me the impression that you're not a loafer either.:toohurt:
I looked exactly the same only smaller. It probably is the lack of sustained significant aerobic activity in swimming. But running is better for staying trimmed and toned in much less time.
I have had to give up fins on long kick sets. My ankles are so loose, I won't be able to run soon.
Rich: Until you look like Mr. Fort the runner, I don't think so. lol
