As an open water swimmer at heart, I got fed up with pool swimming about a month ago, and switched to almost entirely to cross country skiing 2-3 times/wk, about an hour per ski. I jumped back in the pool this week, and felt like I hadn't missed a beat; perhaps even a little stronger. I haven't had this experience with any other activity; certainly not running or biking. Now what to do about mud season - no snow and icy lakes. Hm.

Jim, you are absolutely right. I actually started on a fitness routine with the elliptical a couple of years before I returned to swimming. It made me much healthier and happier.
