Swimming is probably the ultimate of burnout sports.

But when you swim at a world class level for hours and hours – the loneness of the long distance runner.

Growing up in Alaska, they don’t really teach you to swim there. I learned to swim just a few summers ago with Olympic gold medalist Amanda Beard.
