I'm fully convinced about smoking marijuana before swimming. 1) I'm more relaxed 2) I float better 3) I hold air longer and more comfortably 4) I swim faster, farther & need fewer strokes per length 5) I can isolate and work on certain areas easier(the kick, breathing, balance, minimizing drag, etc) 6) Slow motion flip turns 7) I'm more focused 8) It's more fun. 9) It feels awesome to break into a sprint in order to pass somebody 10) I'm high!

The drawbacks of being high while swimming

1) I don't keep track of the laps very well. (But can if I really feel like it)

2) I may overexert myself by swimming too fast. (Noticed afterward, when I feel like a nap)

3) Sometimes I stay in too long and have to pay an extra euro fifty for an extra hour.
