    I'm a former elite swimmer who burned out like a forest fire with no fuel. However, I can definitely relate to the workouts, the competition, the nerves, etc. Feel free to add me!

    I am a former elite swimmer too. Way back in the day (about 20 - 23 years ago).

    I think I got my competitive attitude from my swimming years. What was your specialty? Mine was backstroke and medley.

    Never a competitive swimmer, but I swim weekly as part of my workouts. Usually 2-3 times a week, in addition to lifting & running. I find it really hard to lift the same days I swim though! My arms feel like they're about to fall off when I'm done!
