When I was younger I never did this "proper" swimming stuff though.
Same here. I swam YMCA league until mid high school. 3 nights/wk 1 mile warmup then practice. I used to walk home from the pool in the winter and my hair would be ice by the time I got home. I was also a YMCA scuba instructor at 14.
