I often hear that exercise first thing in the morning is a great way to start the day (and plan to get back into the 6am swim sessions from Monday). How's it going for you Thais? Are you feeling more energised?

When I was at my peak I'd do 5 of those a week, doing between 15-20,000 metres a week + 3 gym sessions. It sounds alot but Olympic swimmers probably do well over 50km a week in the pool. Amazing athletes that don't get anywhere near the respect they deserve.

I have no way to know what it's like, but I know the number now at least ... No wonder they start crying when they get a medal ... (or even when they don't get any medal)

You are considered a reasonable swimmer if you can do 100m freestyle in under 1 minute. I read a few years ago that James Hickman (Brits might know him) would do a few thousand metres of butterfly kick (no arms, just kick) with a 100m split of under 1 minute. Quite something. Funny old world when footballers (both gridiron and soccer), basketball players, baseball players etc. get enormous salaries whereas guys like swimmers, cyclists, gymnasts and other amazing athletes get very little reward for their efforts.

Well, maybe that's why guys and gals like swimmers, cyclists, gymnasts and other amazing athletes are so special. Anyhow, so what are pros and cons of swimming as an exercise, since we are talking bout swimming here.
