If what you mean when you say someone is a "strong swimmer" is that the person can swim all day, than yes, I am a strong swimmer. If your criteria also include: "and not look like he's drowning the whole time," well, then, I'm not your boy. This weekend I managed to get two 5k run/half hour swims in, and I found at the end of today's workout that my form was improving. Swimming laps is mighty dull, but so's running on the treadmill. It is possible that the swimming thing's chief benefit will be that when I wear a singlet I will look somewhat less like a lightbulb with arms-- but that is not an insignificant benefit.
