Fort, it's an unfortunate fact that men swim faster than women, and really fast women tend to kind of look like men. If you really want to be a beast in the water, femininity might suffer.
Jazz, I love you like a brother but oh man, I have to jump on you for this one too. This is such a RIDICULOUS stereo type that muscular women are not feminine. I'm sorry, unless a female pump yourself up to HUGE proportions (of which, MAYBE .05% of females have the genetic potential to do), then I'm sorry, a female is still feminine in my book.
But this is part of the problem with the thought of women doing any serious strength training. 'I'll look masculine' nope, sorry, what you'll look like is a very fit and muscular woman. Which is dang sexy.
