training while early stages of pregnancy

I am avid masters swimmer-training 10-12 hours per week total, with 4 two hour workouts in pool per week. 6,000 yds average I would say. My doc says I can swim during pregnancy-but he doesn't understand the concept of swim training vs. lap swimming. Anybody have any info? It would be greatly appreciated.

  • There is this woman who swims with us once in a while who beat her husband in the triathlon last summer while she was pregnant. Of course, she was a few months into the pregnancy when she did it. There is this other woman who is probably due in a few months who is still swimming pretty hard. I think that she is still doing flipturns. She did it the last time she was pregnant at 8 months. This stuff is pretty amazing to see and hear about. Especially a pregnant woman doing a triathlon and beating her husband.
