    • Swimming is probably the ultimate of burnout sports. it's ironic because millions of people who swim as their regular exercise love the meditation aspect of it; you don't wind up with any orthopedic injuries. but when you swim at a world class level for hours and hours - the loneness of the long distance runner.
