not even close. good exercise but not the same. swimming is the best exercise for your body.
8 miles in windy conditions with 3 foot chop, tiger sharks, bull sharks, white tip sharks, and nobody around for miles. that's balls deep.

Lol i was a swimmer in high school, i figured the extra 5 miles would maybe make up for the lack of leg use.

you're welcome to try it. i wouldn't recommend it though. the currents and chop between the pear islands would swallow up most frogmen. no fins, set of goggles, and that's it.

Geez! I agree. Swimming is hard. I'm in decent shape and when swimming last year in Belize it tires you out real soon. Ocean/lake swimming is quite different than pool swimming.
Funny story:
When we went snorkeling we went with another family (paid charter) that were strangers to us. The father was talking shit the whole time about how he was such a strong swimmer and eschewed the provided little floaty device (looks sort of like a water noodle) I took one just to be safe in case I got tired, Well we hear an alert signal go off and we all surface to see the guide asking if there was anyone willing to give up their floaty device b/c aqua man here couldn't make it back to the boat. LOL!
What was even more douchy was the guy asked ME and my under 18 year old SON if we'd be willing to give up ours!!! I told the guy he just tore up his man card. Seriously? If I were any kind of man I'd DROWN before I'd ask a woman or a boy for their "floaty". What a dick.

Most of us here grow weed right? we obsess over what we feed our plants. Read for hours and hours over which nutrient or supplement is better. Give exact ppm's, exact pH. Etc..
Don't you owe it to yourself to give yourself the best products out there. The ones with the most nutrition, the heathiest. We put products into our bodies filled with preservatives, sugars, artificial flavors, antibiotics, hormones, pesticides and on and on everyday and don't give it a second thought.
Growing has taught me the value of nutrition.

I tell this to my patients all the time.... How much did you weigh when you were born? And how much now? That difference is made up of the foods you've eaten, the drink you've had, and the air you've breathed.
Beware of what you eat, drink, and breathe.

wait-what? what does their birthweight have to do w/ current weight? I'd think genetics play a huge part as well….

It is the difference of those two weights that we're looking at.
I was around 8lbs when born, now I am 210lbs. That extra 202lbs came from the food I ate, the things I drank, and what I put into my lungs.
Genetics does play a role obviously but weight doesn't come from thin air, it comes from food, drink and air. Or McDs, alcohol, and smoking. See what I'm getting at?
This is my little spiel of how you are what you eat...
Did that clear it up? I know I think funny sometimes

No. We grow regardless of WHAT we eat, cheeseburgers or salad… Sorry to sound dense but how does referencing birthweight enlighten people to eat smarter? You are what you eat regardless of what you weighed at birth no?

Once someone becomes enlightened then they want to put better things into their body instead of the garbage...

Hookahbelly is right and so are you. AP class or nutrition classes teach you these things. As humans we have a predispositions in our genetic code. You'll grow no matter what. You may die if you don't eat and have stunted growth a lot of problems actually. Once you fully mature controlling your weight becomes much easier.
