| Swimmers...
What do you guys do to keep in shape and swim well? Any special diets? What sort of exercises do you do, in and out of the pool?

They swim... that's enough to make you burn a **** load of calories and define muscle. But, my friend used to do some minor weight lifting along with swimming; some running; and just a few basic exercises.
All I know is I could never be a professional swimmer... that's EXTREMELY difficult.

hahaha swimmer RIGHT HERE. Theres all these different things you can do a lot of swimmers also do water polo so that helps and you build up a LOT of endurance in that sport and some do running. Others do weightlifting (either heavy or light based on your event(s)). Diet wise you typically want to eat A LOT of food during the swim season cause you are seriously burning off so many calories it can be dangerous if you dont eat everything in sight but in general i only eat organic everything--a lot of carbs, fruits, protein (especially before and after practice builds muscle) Soy products. Haha if you want specific sets that we do in practice i can give you those.

either way, I doubt it's anything very savory, considering that you've been spamming it to numerous threads in all the forums. I'd rather not take my chances, thanks.

why dont you join a swim team and find out. I have swam for 12 years and it is different for everyone. I have swam against olympians, i probably would have gotten plenty of scholarships, but swimming SUCKS. 12 years really burn you out. Now i wish i could go back but smoking is preventing me and the fact i must work
