O.K.- cycling is a great,low impact,endurance builder. But the circular path doesn't help me if I use the frog kick exclusively. I just meant that runners, swimmers,and cyclers all have to deal with their body weight as a major factor in their sport, and when you see the runners on the side of the road you can count the veins. This slender shape and endurance is definetly a plus. My point is that-I am big and no matter how little body fat I have my shoulders and chest won't get any smaller- so I have a larger profile swimming head on into the flow of a cave. That makes me have to work a little harder to swim. Taking all this into account, I still notice a rise in cons. when diving in a new place or with new gear or new people. That rise and fall varies more than any change due to fitness (fitness beyond my current state, I'm not saying fat slobs wouldn't gain some ground). So getting up off your ass makes a big difference-but so does the experience and mental preparedness. EZ
