My husband isn't a STRONG swimmer so he actually wears a floatation around his waist! JUST finishing will be worth it all! You'll be HOOKED! This is my 3rd summer doing…
  • You CAN help your chest decrease...of course if your HUGE you will never be a A or B again. etc...but you can do: PUSH UPs, Bench press, etc...it will HELP!!
