I have been a swimmer since I was about 4. I swam at a division I school all 4 years in college. We would do a Christmas training trip every year where we would swim about 15,000 yards a day, along with weights and running. Yes, that's about 8 miles a day, and it was grueling and it would bring out the worst chafing imaginable. We would always use Vaseline under our arm pits to help with chafing. Oh, and ditch the side stroke as others have mentioned. I don't see how you could get a workout doing sidestroke anyway. And what is "racing backstroke"?
Swimming is the best workout you can get, but it's just so damn boring. I haven't been able to touch the water since I graduated college 8 years ago. I've since taken up mountain biking for the change of scenery.
