I also love swimming and it is indeed a good way to exercise. Recently though, I don't know what happened, but when I swim after a short while I get a headache. Somehow it triggers a mild case of my migraine so I don't swim a lot right now. I learned how to swim when I was young, a friend of my cousin taught me how to do so because they owned a resort.

I like to go swimming. We have our own swimming pool. I learned how to swim in gym class at school. I always wanted to swim and never knew how to swin until then. I am not a really good swimmer but I could survive in water if I have to. I can swim on my front and my back side fairly well. I love the exercise from it also.

hi. i love swimming and i used to swim alot when i was in high school and college and i used to have endurance to swim 15 laps of 50 meters without stopping more than a few minutes in between. however, when i started working, i don't have anytime to go to the pool. i can do freesytle, backstroke and breakstroke. i find butterfly very hard to do. right now, doing one lap of 50 meters will make me breatheless...LOL. i am that out of practice. i believe swimming can exercise all parts of the body and with water's bouyancy, it can't prevent injury due to impact like with jogging, etc. moreover, it's a cardiovascular activity that strengthens the heart and lungs and tones the muscle. boy, i miss swimming!

I have been able to swim since I was little, I used to love going swimming and would go with school and then at weekends too. I earned lots of badges for swimming while at school, and I did a swimming gala once that was fun. My mum cannot swim, has never been able to swim. She is 55 now and regrets not learning, but she has achieved many things just lately and so maybe she can make swimming her next goal.

Congratulations on your achievement. I think it's really important that everyone learns to swim. It's a skill that could save your life. When I was younger I used to swim competetivley and i was also a life saver. Today my swimming is really poor by comparison, but I swim nearly every day in the summer as I have a lovely river very nearby.

I love swimming, even though I'm not the best swimmer in the world. I learned when in my teens but we never went that often.Now, we don't go much either. I hope we can go more often this summer actually. We went a couple of weekends ago and the place wasn't too bad.

I love to swim, it is so calming and relaxing to me. I wish we had a swimming pool outside in our yard, maybe one day we will break down and get one. We have a pretty big creek behind our house and we go down there to swim quite a bit but I refuse to go to the creek by myself, last time I did I seen a snake!

Sorry as I still don't know how to swim. Tried alot but I never was able to swin, This doesn't mean that I am fat or something, you can see my picture on profile. My mother always stopped me from going near pools and sea, thats why I didn't learn how to swim.
