The Six Truths of Fast Swimming - Truth #1

I recently wrote about the Six Myths of Fast Swimming and it occurred to me that it would be useful to write the corresponding Six Truths of Fast Swimming to further explain my thoughts. Here they are one at a time:

TRUTH #1 - Swimming is Hard Work
There is no other sport that demands the combination of athleticism, physical fitness, attention to detail, and volume of rigorous training the way swimming does. There is no way of getting around it: if you want to achieve anything in swimming, be prepared to work hard for your goals. Those who begin by accepting this truth and embracing the challenge and the difficulty that it represents have taken a huge step toward their swimming success. A key to this step is understanding that though the effort required will be great, the rewards of achieving your goal will be equally rewarding.
