I feel like some of the olympic swimmers look a little blubbery compared to the runners

depends what you have access to, proper swimming is a fullbody workout, but swimming in cold water burns even more calories

I used to up until my late teens. Quick everyone post your 50m free times.

I like to extend my leg workouts to the pool. Pushing off the wall in the water from side to side. Looks autistic as hell but I don't care.

Swimming is a great cardio exercise. Only reason I stopped is I keep getting swimmers ear, even with ear plugs.

I really enjoy it but it took so many sessions just to get decent technique which is probably still off. Even so I can barely do two 50s without feeling like dying.

I'd like to go swimming but my loose skin would jiggle about in the water like a lava lamp
