I swim 50 laps about 5 times a week - I always figured my laps @ my
weight (big secret), at about 5 calories a lap. It usually takes me
about a minute to complete a lap. I need to stop about half way
through each lap and bounce off the bottom, while catching my breath.

I realize I wouldn't need to do that with a rake in my hand, but I also
factor in the hot Sacramento heat, to a 82 degree pool. I'm into
creature comforts unfortunately;-)
