I was supposed to go swimming today during lunch, but I had to catch up on work. Swimming is the GOAT cardio, plus it helps work your shoulders and back a lil bit. My thing with swimming is that is ramps up my appetite something vicious. I get done with a lap swimming session, and I'll be like Cookie Monster on weed, and then I wanna go straight to sleep.

I love swimming but need to do more of it.

It makes me hella hungry and puts me to sleep too breh.

that's because it burns more calories than any other form of cadio and works EVERY muscle. 1 hour of swimming can burn up to 800 calories. no other cardio seeing it.

swimming is my main form of cardio. i swim 2 miles (about 60 laps) 6 days a week. i'm a fish. i'd rather be swimming than doing just about anything.
as for the munchies when they hit. i just double up on protein post workout... chicken breasts...tuna...broiled ground beef. feed my muscles and the hunger =

 

[How Sway?]

Agree with the people saying swimming makes you hungry. Every time I go swimming I get the munchies like a mutha. No Wonder Olympic swimmers eat like 5 cheeseburgers in one sitting

I need to learn brehs

Plus Im dense as fukk. How are you brehs with floating? If I lay out in a pool I literally sink. My legs just don't float. I also can't breathe during strokes. My kick game is all fukked up too. I'm just a terrible swimmer overall

I got a snorkel so I can at least start doing laps. I need to get a nose clamp though. I get confused as hell

If yall got kids who can't swim take them for lessons tomorrow... I feel like I'm never gonna learn 100%

Funny thing with me is that in my high school, swimming was required for graduation; we had this big Olympic sized pool in the basement. But I never had the class assigned to me, so I was like I wish I had taken it earlier. I learned because my kids took to water early, and because I didn't know how to swim, I couldn't get in the water with them.

I found a cat on Craigslist who gave me lessons for $25 an hour at the local aquatics and fitness center. The main thing he helped me with was floating, and then kicking to get moving. And then after that, the types of strokes (freestyle, breaststroke). All in all, it took me about five lessons before I was good to go. I wasn't trying to become a pro or anything. Plus I had fractured my ankle the previous winter, so any type of running or high impact cardio was a no-no.

The main problem I have (and still do) is breathing; getting my head far enough out of water so I can take a breath. So I copped this joint right here: [ame=http://www.amazon.com/FINIS-1-05-009-50-Swimmers-Snorkel-Yellow/dp/B004O6ECL4/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1360984699&sr=8-1&keywords=finis+snorkel]Amazon.com: FINIS Swimmer's Snorkel (Yellow): Sports & Outdoors[/ame]
Helps me really well with breathing. I take in air through my mouth with the snorkel, and then when I breathe out, I exhale through my nose.

Theres nowhere to swim consistently in NYC

I took a couple of lessons at Laguardia but that was damn near 20 yrs ago. Parents never took me to the beach. My wife is an excellent swimmer so I need to catch up. Plus I like it for cardio

I grew up in NYC and I can swim, you making excuses for your lack of aquatic expertise

All jokes aside, my girl was on the swim team in HS

Where did you learn?

My mom took my sister and I to a Boys & Girls club when I was 3, she said I jumped right in the pool on my own I don't ever remember getting actual lessons and my earliest memory of swimming is around 4-5 years old.
