Interesting, thanks. I wonder why this is and why its so different to running or even cycling?
Because water has 1000 times more resistance than air, and swimming is not an ingrained, natural motion that our bodies have evolved to do instinctively over 100,000 years. Its a 100% learned, and totally unnatural motion.
Cycling is mindless, there's no technique...just pedal, to go faster, pedal harder. Even aero penalties are nothing compared to swimming position penalties.
Running has a technique component, but its still much smaller than swimming. So, it's kinda in the middle between cycling and swimming.
