Hypothermia during sports swimming in water below 11°C

Interesting article on the Jonathan Knott blog

The following is a little piece I wrote about swimming long distance on normal temperature swimming pool water:

One of the last things I got stuck into has been long distance swimming. It started because I was on one of my "losing weight" times where I just go swimming in the pool and do it every day until I have burned all my fat out. This time coincided with a time of my life where I wasn't busy with anything so I had time to swim and swim and so I stayed in the pool and I just swam on..

2 hours, then 3 hours then I was doing 4 hours swims every other day. at the 4 hours mark (10kms) my body just refused to go on and simply stopped,  I had to get out of the pool and barely made the walk back to the car.

My problem was lack of energy but I have always known that you don't train with a full stomach, you must have fully digested before you train otherwise your digestion can 'seize' your stomach or something.. at the pool  I sometimes met a primario, some high ranking doctor from the hospital.. I asked him if there was something  I could eat and he simply blank stared me as if I was from another world. I discovered that getting out of the pool at about the 4 hours mark to drink some fruit juice would restore my strength, now I could swim for about 6 hours and then boredom set in.. However I now knew I needed some kind of fluid to get energy from but searching the net for it wasn't easy.. indeed long distance swimmers are not very numerous.

This is what I was looking for, it was written by Eartquake Dan and yours to keep Pdf with free exercise advice from DanEarthquake's site
