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!

Swimming is so awesome.. I do summer league so I'm not exactly pro (lol) but there is so much work that goes into it, a lot of my friends are swimmers and they're always complaining about waking up at 5 to go to practice. i dont know how anyone could think swimming is hard.
I think swimming and track are tied for my most favorite sport, lol |
