Swimming- its harder than it looks..., So you think you can handle swimming... Options

[Blackhorn]

A lot of people laugh when I say I'm a swimmer. They blow off swimming as some whimpy sport- but its harder than you'd think. I practice on 2 different teams- one year round and one during the winter. My total practice time a week is around 10 hours.
You think you can handle that?

Here are some of my favorite sets:
10x100 on 1:00
5x500 (top race time)
10x200 on 1:50 descending 1:30
8x25 no breathe- sprint!!

You do some of these- these are the easy ones!

No it isnt easy. I remembered when I first learned to swim and to tell ya the truth..i was horrible. People think swimming is easy because all you do is move your arms, legs, and head but you have to do it all at once and concentrate. It gets really tiring afterwards too.
