The first instict for children when they get in the pool is to pee. If you consider most people don't shower before they enter the pool then all their external body sweat and worse gets washed into the pool. That is why they pump chlorine into the pool to kill the germs. Basically you are swimming in a toilet but don,t let me put you off. Swimming can be a great exercise just don't swallow the water.

I used to do triathlons and one day went swimming in Oriental Bay. I noticed a horrible smell while swimming. The next day the council closed the beach for swimming saying a sewage pump had failed and raw sewage was being pumped into the bay. Needless to say I was sick for a week.

Swimming could be a good exercise for the lats if you are talking about bodybuilding benefits and could be used as cardio for dieting in conjunction with a diet.

Thanks agent86, that was a great post. Lats is definitely one of my weakest points. How about ribcage expansion and chest development? I heard swimmers have increased lung capacity?

[RockHard]

Lung capacity certainly does increase and it's great for your back. My Triceps and lats hurt like a bitch though while swimming and I spend most of my time stretching them...
