You guys recreational swimming or racing and doing laps? We used to be members of a pool when we were kids and would swim like a fish all summer long. We had some tight bodies as hard as we played. We would ride bikes a couple miles to get to the pool, then swim all day long, all summer long. Sharks and Minnows was an all time favorite.

Just recreational swimming, but like you say, we're doing a lot of it.  The kids mostly stay in the shallow water since they are playing, and one of the younger girls isn't a very strong swimmer, but I have always loved swimming in as deep of water as I can find.  When there are no boats on the lake, I'll swim out pretty far and stay there for quite a while, so even when I'm not swimming I'm treading water.  My adult sister doesn't swim much, since she has this condition where when she gets cold, especially if it's a shock of cold, all the blood leaves her fingers and then her hands, and leaves them feeling numb and freezing for like hours afterward.  I think it's called Reynaud's syndrome.  So she typically just sits on the shore and reads while we swim.
