To all the former university and college swimmers, how did you/do you balance swimming and school? I never grew up a swimmer, and only started swimming alot once I got to university, so I don't have the base that so many of the other people on my team do, but it seems to me that I'm just always tired, this week I only was in the water for 8 hours (tuesday through friday = 25 kms - and due to a water polo touroment the pool is closed today and tommorow :( ). I didn't do much swimming all summer - weekly = 5 hours ish, but running/biking for another 10 usually. I have a good solid cardio base, but it somehow doesn't help me swimming, I know that volume is peanuts compared to alot of the good DI and DII schools. I'm in a pretty challanging program right now, so school is a priority, but if anyone has any good tips on how they balanced it all, I'd love to hear them! Or was everyone constantly just tired?
Thanks
David
