In Ur Pool Beatin' Ur Doodz!

It's official, the girls of the Loyola Marymount University Women's Swim Team are not land-dwelling animals.

Clay Evans sent SCAQ swimmers this snippet within a swim article last Monday. I post it here as evidence: "...For those of you who might of thought that what you swam in the last SCAQ workout was tough. Check out what Bonnie [Adair] and I gave the LMU Woman's team Monday morning: a combination of thirteen 500s or 400IMs. Yikes. [...]

Then the team went off and did 45 minutes of strenuous weights. And then they came back in the afternoon for workout number two for another 6,000 yards. Two and half hours in the water today and another hour of weights and stretching. Of course this is a very good swim team and Division 1 NCAA.

That is a total of 12,000 yards in one day and that will just get the week started. LMU will do that mileage about four or five times in a week. [...] These were not easy pace miles; they were hard swimming with high performances during most of the laps. ..."
