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.

Has anyone tried the "Versa-climber" it uses both legs and arms simultaneously. If your not sure which piece of kit it is, google it. I found when I lived in san diego it was the only piece of cardio equipment in the gyms that didn't have a line in front of it. :-) most are not happy to use it. Another good work out would be with wind resistance rower IE. Concept II, There are some good resistance band swimming workouts on the web give.em a try.
