What's your top reason for swimming?

  • My all-time record for water weight loss when I used to play competitive tennis was 4kg over a 4 hour period of matches. And I probably only weighed about 110lb back then. Probably not the safest experiment to perform on onesself, but it was something to do! :afraid: Since we Americans are, by and large, not that familiar with the metric system, let me do the conversion for my fellow dullards. What Amanda is telling us here is that she was 110 lb., then lost 4 kg (euro-talk to kilograms) during a rubber of spirited Australian bridge-tennis. This equates to about 3.7 ounces, or slightly less than one-quarter of a pound. She finished her match, therefore, weighing 109.73 pounds, give or take. Amazing! I do hope the paramedics were within reach.
