I guess that depends on how you define "hard work"? On this forum as I pointed out in the last post the "hard work" is determined (for most) by how many yards they get in per day and how many workouts per week.
Next time your at swim practice try putting a 100% effort into a "perfect" swim (of any distance) a few time: Perfect dive, perfect number of SDK's, perfect break out, exact number of strokes needed per length, perfect turn, constant/powerful kick, perfect finish.
:drink: I'll drink to that. I don't do it as much as I should (but am doing it more lately). The concentration it takes to not be sloppy is a different kind of hard work than powering through the yards and it builds the right muscle memory so that things become automated even when you're too tired to pay attention in a race.
That reminds me not to float my turns in workout tomorrow.
