Is swimming the best cardio exercise there is?

Hell yes. But if you're an idiot like me, you can get killed in the process.

>be me
>go to local lake
>swim
>weather is going bad
>"whatever, I'm just gonna go across one more time"
>it starts raining and gets windy
>get caught in a stream
>shoop ah, now you're diving
I just let the stream take me, I was like fuck it man, I don't have any power left, just held my breath in and hoped that I'd rest a bit. Luckily for me, it just tossed me at one of the coasts.
Scary shit though.

I get nightmares about being dragged out into the open sea by a current.

What country or state do coed saunas exist?

All over Europe, really. Czech Republic in my case.

No legs
This is much better

Bit my vote goes to this

I’ve lost 40 pounds since March just OMAD, lifting, running. Is swimming better than running??

imagine some wild gorilla or bear coming to attack you. The swimmer can swim away...but what can this goy do?

Easier on the joints, that's for sure.

Could chlorine from the pool fix your skin, if you have slight acne?

No, I mean will it speed up weight loss? I still have 35 pounds to go.

Don’t be retarded and that won’t happen. Stay close to the shore if you don’t have any diving/scuba gear.
He must be in Europe as I have never seen such a thing in Burgerland.
It is better on the joints and knees, objectively speaking. At the very least it is effective cardio. Plus it is actually [spoiler]fun[/spoiler]

>read it as tfw anyway

It's a nightmare, those normally don't happen irl. Chances are I won't go to school naked either. Or have all my teeth fall out for no reason.

incel badly larping as chad

I have a funny naked at school nightmare
I get loseoselucid dreams whenever I have a nightmare, it was training from a child psychologist who helped me with my constant nightmares
Anyway, the dream ended with all the girls falling in love with my massive dick and swarming me and I got to punch the principal

Sounds cool.

Swimming is the best cardio
It's twice as hard as running and requires you to use every muscle all while keeping you cool so you can keep going way longer then other cardio exercises
>t. 4 years of highschool swim team and 6 years of sports club swim team

I got caught in a rip tide once, was legit spooky and new i could easily die. Luckily I could just barely touch the bottom still and walked out of it (parallel to the shore).

It's meh
I still have constant nightmares and it's like a 40% chance I can control them
Other then that I smoke medical weed to suppress dreaming and if I ever run out I get super crazy vivid nightmares

Like so bad I got a phobia of spiders after a nightmare where a giant spider ate me, but in a realistic, dissolving your organs and drinking them way

seduce it.

Firstly, swimming for exercise anywhere that's not a pool is retarded.

Secondly, you did the right thing. NEVER swim against the current. Always swim with it until you get washed up somewhere safe, or the current ends and you can swim somewhere safe.

Swimming: best for developing and encouraging classic V-taper
Running: most calories per hour burnt
Nordic skiing: best full body cardio, unironically a patrician sport
Cycling: best way to combine exploration and cardio

Boxing, jumping rope, elliptical, etc.: will not improve your cardiovascular fitness on their own in any meaningful, measurable way.

I refuse to believe that this device is real

Treadwalls exist, why not a treadmill ladder?

Why? It looks great to be honest, I'd love to try it out

oh man there is a guy at the work gym that looks just like that and he does nothing other than the Row, Lats and Abs machine. No idea why he doesn't try anything else ... then again im always on the bike when I go.

I like swiming because its cardio and muscle exercise in one

I like swimming bc it gives me an excuse to prancing around in tight speedo

It suppresses rem sleep not only dreams... Would tell you to try to do cbd see if it lets u dream harder and less nightmarish

that too, shame I never see any cute girls there its either:
>40 something dudes that that swim like fucking olympian competitors
>Hamplanets
>Grannies

Did he really get this body just by swimming?

>treadwall
That's stupid as shit, they should be call wallmills

i'd swim but i literally don't know how. wish there were adult swimming lessons :(

Lies! Chad eats clen and trens hard.

i-is that bulge achievable natty?

There are, at least where i live.
Or you could watch some tutorials on youtube and then try to replicate in the shallow part of the pool.

Behold the greatest cardio

correct

See

As someone who learned painstakingly how to swim after many lectures from coaches that swam their entire life, dont do this. Swimming is much harder than it looks especially if you dont have someone to teach you. You just learn the wrong form and you are fucked forever

How to find a decent coach?
Do all people really need to know the form perfectly?

Depends on how disciplined you are. Swimming stimulates your appetite more than other forms of cardio, so if you can stick to your calorie intake limits despite being hungry as fuck after, then yes - it's better. A lot of beginners don't however, so be careful.

I heard you.go balud or lose ur hair from the huge amounts of chlorine in pool water. I want.to swim but I need my hair

After I started attending college, I signed up for PE and went for swimming. So I basically had three coaches teaching me and it took half year to learn perfect crawl,breastroke and butterfly. That means actually swimming with head underwater for the first two unlike what most people do

And yes perfect form if you want to get any gains. Im noz stopping you from doing the typical "slow breastroke with head above water" that I see 90% of people doing but let me remind you thats extremely ineffective and its the type of exercise doctors recommend to 80 years old grannies with their bodies falling apart

how is it even possible to hang dong that large in a pool?

wat?

Even when you take adult swimming lessons they give you "slow breaststroke with head above water". Only place you can get thought differently is by joining a swimming club which focusses only on competitions.

Any natural bodies of water near you?
Theres a lake 15km north of the town I live in. I love taking my tri bike up the road, going for a swim, and biking back. Super comfy weekend morning.

Most swimmers also weight train

Shrinkage!

Haha I bet his bulge smells like a mixture of musty man scent and chlorine haha how gross would it be if you accidentally got a facefull of his soaked Chad bulge haha ew

Protest too much

Bicycling is great but I wouldn't say it's as good as swimming. It's a bit too easy to relax on a bicycle and some people don't have the mental strength to really push themselves

>I give my liife, not for honour, but fo~or you

Yes , it spreads the work more evenly than any other exercise so you won't suffer from specific muscle loss unlike other cardio. Also no risk of joint problems.

The pic is misleading, you're not supposed to use your feet. There is something similar to this device in the boulder room I go to.

row away

>grannies
These are the worst. At my pool there are two of them who love to leg-paddle side by side chatting and taking up all the row, and I have to dive under them to get past them.

As long as your a decent swimmer, riptides are more scary than actually dangerous. Most people who die in them do so because they panic.

I do a lot of open ocean swimming and I've been caught in a couple. stayed calm and got out easily. Just swim parallel to the shore until your out of the current, than go back to shore. Its definitely scary though. Its very hard to resist the urge to swim directly back to shore when you see yourself being pulled further and further away from it.

Dont even tell me I basically have to go before 12pm all the time. I went in afternoon once and its just like you said. Fat old ladies just taking the entire lane side by side chatting

aaaand you're full of shit

>not living near a body of water
lmaoing@u
>you're not supposed to climb a ladder with your legs
Look, you can do that if you wanna be ebin but literally everyone uses their feet on the ladder. Not everyone can do an one arm pullup, not even partial.

Then why is it inverted?

To make it harder? The angle is adjustable and it should be obvious that the more your body looks towards the ceiling, the harder the exercise becomes

makes sense, but I rest my point on the "use only your arms to climb it" thing.

just go with it bro. going into a sauna with a female friend is comfy as fuck. if you arent sexually interested in her you couldnt really care less what she thinks of your dick. just avoid it if you have a micropenis i guess.

People keep saying swimming isn't great if you're not good a swimming.

I can barely do 2 lengths before getting tired

You know how I know you've not had sex? Because sex is dogshit but all of us have had it have agreed to pretend it's awesome just to piss off loser virgins like you.

Just practice

I love swimming but I'm scared of doing it in the sea even when I live 5mins from it

Ask me how I know you've never had several hour long sex sessions resulting in multiple simultaneous orgasms with somebody he loves dearly.

Haha nice

I'm a noob so not trying to dispute anything.
But what's wrong with just running on a treadmill or just running in general?

>sex is shit

your leddit is showing, go make up stories there where the normies believe you fucking lefty cocksucker

Bicycling: I want to exercise, but I also want to sit.
>swimming is based.

It's great and all, put spending two hours in cold water makes me ravenous afterwards.

how long did it take you to learn front crawl? currently taking lessons and i can't roll properly to save my life. i can only swim a 1/3 the length of the pool before gasping for air

>No legs
Retard

Based

>Bicycling: I want to exercise, but I also want to sit.
If you do this on every hill you're doing it wrong

If you can't swim in the ocean, you should just admit that you can't actually swim.

>if you arent sexually interested in her
Is that a thing? Can you not be sexually interested in someone? She's hot af. I'm hot af. There's something, but I think we're both scared of moving past being friends.

imagine burying your face in his crotch and liking all over until his undewear is all slimy and translucent, so you can see his penis and balls, haha.

The photo is taken before he gets in. That's Laurent Charles marchand, a notorious rentboy instathot (who happens to be a 6'4 Adonis with an 8.5x6 cock). And before anyone calls him a Chad, he's a huge bottom on his own time.

The trick is to breathe dude... Anyone can do crawl but very small number of people ever learn it with breathing. This gave me the most trouble of all. First of all definetely get goggles so you can forget everything around you and just focus on the breathing. I dont really know how to explain it, just keep trying until you get it one day. Exhale into water, and when your arm shift your body so your head gets out of the water for a brief moment and take a quick breath. Rinse and repeat. Just train bro
