I've started doing butterfly last december, couldn't even swim 25m. Now I can do 3x 75m, goal is 100m by the end of the year.

Swoomed a couple of hours ago

>local pool is way too warm for intense swimming, feels like passing out
>chemicals in the water irritate the skin/eyes
>basically bathing with "people" who barely ever wash themselves
>always either going faster than the swimmer in front or slower than the one behind you

I stopped going

>>76368184
>>always either going faster than the swimmer in front
I fucking hate this so much

How do you do you swim without goggles that cover the nose? Water going up my nose is the worst feeling in the world, especially chlorinated water

>>76368184
>basically bathing with "people" who barely ever wash themselves

This can be super dangerous, I only go to giant fuck huge city funded pools for this reason. I’ve been to some pools owned by private businesses or residential apartments that smelled and looked like literal shit

>>76368264
Been swimming for 30 years and never had this happen, are people breathing through their nose underwater or what?

Someone blackpill me on this. Say I swim at a moderate pace with breaks, what's the calories lost considering the same approximate intensity compared to other cardios like rooning and ellipticals? My knees are fucked

>>76368264
breathe through your mouth

>>76367907 (OP)
>could have made a value-added swim general
>makes a shitty bait thread instead
op is a fag
many such cases.

>>76368373
>dat aerophagia
I burped so fucking much when I started swimming.

>>76367907 (OP)
swimming or the butterfly specifically?

>>76367907 (OP)
I love butterfly, I mog everyone in the pool, some old lady swimming in the fast lane even complained about me scaring her. But it starts fucking my right shoulder (rotator cuff I guess), sometimes I can't do upper body pressing for days if I don't apply voltaren or tiger balm right after swimming

>>76368679
>I burped so fucking much when I started swimming.
skill issue.

And remember anons : being too lean is disadvantageous for swimming, fat actually helps with float

My autistic brain can't into butterfly style

>>76367919
Any fit guy in speedos is hot.

>>76368314
Pretty high since there is added resistance to all froms of movement

>>76367907 (OP)
Nice for spine mobility

>>76367907 (OP)
Paddleboarding has entered the chat.

>>76369001
here you go >>>/lgbt/ faggot, and that's not even a swimmer body.
>>76368314
you won't fuck your knees any further by swimming, maybe avoid breast stroke since it's the stroke that engages legs the most

>>76367907 (OP)
>annihilates your shoulders forever

Pulling off a proper butterfly feels /fit/ as fuck, but I prefer just doing a relaxing freestyle.

>he doesn't swim uphill through comfy countryside canals

NGMI

>>76369126
There's probably a shoulder routine with weights that prevents that

*pisses and shiddes in the water your swimming at in*
heh

>>76368051
There's nothing more brutal in this world than 200m butterfly.

>>76367907 (OP)
Based. Especially because niggers can't do it.

>>76367942
>Fish never go back to their birth place to spawn
You've never canoed or kayaked before either, I assume.

>>76369001
That is bad gay. Pic related is acceptable gay.

>>76367919
You wish you had this aura.

>Decide to try swimming as a workout
>Go to local gym that has a pull
>Immediately sick for days because of how gross the water is
thanks.

damn, all the people complaining about gym pools in here...
quite content with the one in my parents house rn, it's like only 15m long but i'm a bad swimmer atm so that's enough (besides swimming naked is goated actually) but seems like ill have to switch routines once i move out in like august

>>76370168
One day.

>>76370180
>>76370175
Why even wear swim caps with that kind of hairline?

>>76370217
Would be /k/ino if not for the leopard print.

>>76370191
>has a pull
kys

>>76370168
Not even a real event

>>76368066
Damn anon pretty good pace. I will do 100s on descending intervals. With 2 min, 1:55, 1:50. Then start over at 2 min. I swim them on about 1:30. But it's an exhausting pace.

>>76369126
It's honestly more about technique and conditioning than strength. I mogged much bigger dudes in the 100 fly in high school because I was just good at it. I did have broad shoulders but was good at the rhythm

>>76371119
>The men's 200 metre butterfly event at the 2024 Summer Olympics was held from 30 to 31 July 2024 at Paris La Défense Arena, which was converted to a swimming pool for the swimming events.
Sorry you're retarded. Get better anon!

All harder and more brutal.

>>76372293
Cope

>>76367907 (OP)
Can you build muscle if you only do swimming 4-5x week?

>>76367907 (OP)
>Destroys your shoulder in months

>>76372293
>200 breast
now i know you're trolling

>>76372426
then how come i've swam butterfly weekly for 20 years and mine are fine?

>>76372440
As I said, you are/were not a swimmer.

>>76372447
>butterfly
Because your torn anus from being a gay faggot distracts you from the pain of your shoulders

Wrestling is close but yeah swimming is really good

>>76372738
Nope

>>76372440
Breast is very demanding if you're good. Fly is all a about rhythm. If you got that down you can swim a lot more efficiently rather than powering through.

>>76367937
Yes retard, swim upstream from the base of any waterfall.

>>76372974
Absolute dyes

Would love swimming, if I had my own swimming hall.

Not going anymore, hate sharing the pool and water with others.

>>76372974
Fly is a power stroke, the longest event is only 200m

>>76368264
you blow bubbles towards your nose from your mouth, rise up from the water, breathe back in, then repeat. did you have swimming at high school? genuinely curious because that's pretty important knowledge if you were drowning or smth

>>76373039
Do you even swim?

I competed in 100 breast, 100 fly, 200 IM...

>>76368066
>average heart rate 143
are you ok? that seems pretty high for your speed

>>76373606
He's fine. You have no idea what you're talking about.

Been swimming more and more lately and Im absolutely loving it. I always said I wanted to go swimming and eventually I just stopped putting it off and it turned out to be amazing.I just do the crawl every time but I feel myself getting stronger and stronger every. I dont really have a problem motivating myself to go lifting but the pool is viewable through a window in the weight room so I have to admit I've skipped weight days a few times from the temptation to go swimming.

>>76367907 (OP)
I wish I had access to a pool. I took a swimming class in college and it was the most fun I had that whole time.

>>76367919
So called twinks are like 6'5 and 190 lbs on average.

>>76368314
Any form of cardio you can do for long periods of time while elevating your heartbeat is great. Swimming is great especially if you have injuries which prevent you from running.

>>76367907 (OP)
maybe if you want to be a twink

if you actually want decent shoulders and athleticism, do boxing
