I used to swim 7 miles a day. Gave up a few years ago but will be starting up again. I truly believe it is the best exercise that exists. I was also a lifeguard and swim instructor throughout college (and made good money off it).
7 miles a day? That's a minimum of 4 hours swimming a day, no?

yesterday was way nice and stuff. worked out (outside the pool) with my physical therapist; walking, weight lifting, rode some fancy machines and i have no idea what they're called. then i went and swam 2 miles.
went home, ate two tacos and crashed out after poetry time.
this morning i woke up cooked breakfast, ate breakfast, then immediately jumped in a 1 mile swimming carnival hosted by regis and kathy lee gifford. :wtf:
I swam 700 yds this morning. Hope all that chlorinated water I swallow doesn't kill me.

yesterday was badass, a very good day for me. swam 2 miles in the morning. then went back for an afternoon swim where i swam another mile or two. that was a good frickin time. today im swimming a good 2 or 3.
i love this passion for water, im not even there man. wild stuff.
my brother is fast as shit i swear to god. he's an animal, that guy. unbelievable. i swim farther than he does on a daily basis, but what i cannot do is swim faster, that dude is quick and frickin powerful. he's strong as a frickin bull on crack or something, nonnatural type shit. swimming laps with Dut is like swimming next to a boat or something. that dude puts off a wake that throws you around some.
he don't swim no 3 or 4 miles either... but he could in a heartbeat if he elected to do so.
greatness feels like swimming. i am not there stroking out lap after lap while i swim. water takes me some where else, fulfilled, lost and found, captivated, sharing energy with water. i can feel it, bubbles everywhere coming and going. muscle exertion building on adding and burning unwanted
all in all... water
been bustin ass at this stuff. i am totally all over water. swam just about 1 mile earlier today when one of my knees went poop on me. bad deal for me. i'm gonna try and go again here in less than an hour. this knee stuff is a killer but it aint stoppin me. i will have too ice my knees down when i get home this evening.
also, swimmin twice today and again tomorrow morning due to the gym being closed on the 10th, it's Columbus day... christopher columbus sucks. lief erikson no sucks.
