Swim Coach for 15 years: training, lifting, and nutrition :)

Antrax, I can respect that. I was in a motor vehicle accident and swimming now is not the same. I do still try to jump in and enjoy a few laps, but I'm not ready for more than that at this stage of my recovery. With all the time I used to devote to swimming however, I do have a lot of focus and attention that I put elsewhere happily.

I found swimming nearly priceless for the understanding I have of training and fitness. Lifting Olympic style weights, rock climbing, and yoga have been great new avenues to for staying in touch with fitness outside of the pool. Do you have anything you still do as a part of your life after swimming?

I do a lot of walking around outside during the non-winter months. Helps me clear my head. I've been starting to do some yoga, but nothing consistent yet.
