I don't think I have ever overtrained, at least with swimming. I hardly ever do a lot of hard swimming. Sometimes I just have fun in the pool and don't do any proper swimming. When the bad chest infection happened, I was not doing any hard training of any kind.
Last week I went swimming or diving every day. Most of it was very leisurely, and none was hard training. On Friday and Saturday my chest trouble was the worst it has been in a long time.
I have stopped all swimming and will only do freedive training once a week. I will see what happens and post the results. Whatever happens, I will not be swimming in a chlorinated pool ever again. What I have found out has put me off.
