Olympic swimmers can literally eat thousands upon thousands of calories every day and still be lean due to how intense of an activity swimming is, why haven't you taken the swimmerpill yet?

Swimming laps is one of the least enjoyable forms of exercise I’ve ever done, although I can’t deny it is incredibly effective
When i swam competitively we dudnt just swim laps we did sets with a specific goal.
Say try doing 10x25* (single length of the pool) on a timer. Say one minute to start, though ideally you pick a time that gices you no more than 5 to 10 seconds rest.
I promise that you wont be bored.
*If you are a more adept swimmer make ot 10x50 or 10x100
that sounds super boring to me
If you are a lazy frick who isnt trying sure. If your putting in actual effort you wilk probably be vomitting into a garbage can.
Or see
No kind of training is boring when done with intent and intensity. Only homosexuals complain about boring training because they are too mentally weak to actually push themselves.
I dont want to eat thousands upon thousands calories a day, i dont have unhealthy relationship with food
it's boring and inconvenient

will start again later this week, it's been too cold to swim in nature and I don't like pools.
You're a big guy
For you
>it's been too cold to swim in nature and I don't like pools.
get a neoprene wetsuit, I can swim in 10C/50F water even though I'm cold intolerant
it's not the swimming that bothers me, it's cycling back home wet.
>cycling back home wet.
I use a towel
If I take that mask off will you die?
Idk op. Why havent you? Sounds great.
Oh wait. You dont swim, you dont lift, you dont even move. You shitpost here literally all day and have no 0lans of changing
Nice try but I literally do 3-4 sessions of intense lifting per week and I'm looking into swimming basins nearby right now to replace my cardio, I dropped over 20 pounds in the last 3 months
We don't have pool in India
it's called pissin
chlorine hurts my skin

Looo
moronic question here: how do I count how many calories I burn while swimming? Can I just go by how many total meters? I'm a really slow, bad swimmer, would I be burning the same amount of calories doing 25m as a much faster swimmer would doing the same distance?
No, you have no idea how many cals you burn swimming. How efficiently you swim depends heavily on how good your technique is. You'd probably burn 3x as many calories as a fast swimmer would in the same distance.
So how do I estimate my TDEE with swimming?
you basically can't.
there are a lot of formulas for estimating that, but I couldn't find a single one that would factor water temperature
Doesnt make that big of an impact as pools operate in a narrow band.
Olympic competition pools must be 79 degrees plus or minus 1 degree. Most competitive pools are probably a hair warmer on average say 80 to 81; this is what we kept our competitive club pool at. The average pool is 82 to 85; we kept our frickaround general pool at 85. A dedicated lap pool will noy exceed 85 and probably be lower 80s because it feels like you are being smothered once the water feels above 85 and you are exerting effort.
At thr end of the day it doesnt really matter University of Florida did a study with men working out in very cokd water, 68 degrees, compared to men working out in 91 degree water, for 45 minutes. The delta? A whopping 12 calories.
Just use any calculator to get a general idea its good enough
>pools operate in a narrow band.
swimming in pool is for gays
>Says the guy posting in a forun where half naked dudes are being posted.
and your point is?
also disregard any calorie calculator that does not have water temperature input
in cold water you burn much more calories for maintaining body temp than on actual swimming
(and this is the reason swimmers eat so many cals per day)
Swimming is the best total body exercise and makes one a sex freak, but it takes up so much time to get serious results
I go 3 or 4 times a week but i'm always tired before I even get into the pool. So I just swim 1 mile breast stroke mainly each time. I think I do front crawl too fast, I get gassed after 50m.
>Olympians can eat two whoppers for dinner because they spend six hours a day working out. Why aren't you an Olympian, homosexual?
Either low quality bait or low quality brain, OP.
I never learned to swim and I'm 30 yo virgin.
I started a course last week, the basic course is just me, a very cute instructor in her 30s and 2 girls. Too bad I'm too autistic to flirt.
Just do it man.
Notice how the losers who make these threads never post their own pics.
Let's see your awesome lean swimmer body and tell us about your daily swimming routine, homosexual queer.
Heres another thing swimming nooblets can focus on since you will be slow as frick. Stroke count.
Figure out how many strokes it takes to do a 25 (length of pool). Work on trying to get that stroke count lower as succesfully doing so means you are pulling more water, ie getting stronger, and becoming more efficient, ie not wasting energy.
Your speed will improve and it will make the swimming less boring.
I swim with the local master's team. Yesterday was distance IM in longcourse. I'm still sore.
