I can't imagine that. I see people doing it, and I still can't understand how people swim that long. I can only seem to swim freestyle fast. I get completely winded by going 50 yards up and 50 back. have to stop and breathe for a few minutes before i do it again. and i have maybe 10 of those in me.

Do you kick your legs at all when you're swimming? I don't like to stare at people in the pool, and I can't decide if they are kicking or just trailing their legs behind and they wiggle a little from the upper body movement. I put those short stiff flippers on and kick hard. Sometimes i get a cramp in my foot or calf from that.
