So I started getting up at the crackass of dawn to swim and I realized...

I realized that I swallow a lot more Water than I thought. As some of you know, I am almost 5 weeks out and am still fairly unable to consume anything that is more than a thick puree. I haven't not mastered much more than sip sip sipping and when I take too large of a gulp, I have big pain and middle school boy belches until the pressure is relieved.

During my hour swim (at 7 in the morning!!!), I watched the little old blue hairs that frequent the pool for the coffee and the newspapers turn to me in disgust as I would come up for breath, swallow a few drops of water and inevitably burp every 6 or 8 strokes. I used to be a swimmer in high school and college, so I am fairly certain I know what I am doing in the pool, it's just something I've never been cognizant of.

I wonder how much pool water I am actually swallowing and if I can count it as part of my daily needs.

LOL...that is funny...at least you are getting in your exercise and that is fantastic! If you were able to gage the amount you take in I am sure that would count....Have a great day!

Querry-- why do the blue hairs look at you in disgust?

how to measure how much Water you swallow. assuming the pool has a scale, weight yourself just after you get in the pool, soaking wet then after your workout. water is eight ounces per cup. If the workout is long then there is a little loss from the exertion. may have to do it a few times and get an average.

Yeah my kids tell me that all the time. I think it is partly personality and mostly working in medicine for 31 years--there is nothing I have not seen.
