  • Swimming is like weight resistance training on all of the major muscles in your body plus the aerobic training that runners and soccer players have to go through. its hell, and then there's the water that you constantly swallow when your teamates swim by you and their bow waves smack you in the face when you turn your head to breath

  • Swimming is very hard...really hard. But I think that cycling is a bit harder. At the Tour of France they do 3 weeks putting 200 km a day in the montains...doing 40km/h...

  • @pbmcabral I'm a swimmer and I have to disagree. There is a very good cycling-guy I know and I'm able to follow him even when he's sprinting. If he tries to swim however, he's not even able to complete a third of the training I do twice a day :)

    I don't think you can compare the two. While the 50m sprint is certainly not as hard as a tour of France, the 200m fly is def harder then following the peleton. I thing both sports go to extremes to compete and are not "harder" or "easier"(unlike soccer)

    Dont forget boxing...imagine being exhausted like after 1500m free while getting your face and body bashed in by George Foreman;-)

  • @TheMasterpiece007 the difference is huge and vital. in a race where the best swimmers take 24-ish seconds, whereas the best runners would take 5 or 6 to do the same 50m, you want to cover as much distance in the air rather than in the water as you possibly can.

  • how much faster is a good dive start to a kick-off-the-wall start in a 50m freestyle race?

  • To be the best at anything takes work.
