Is swimming your exercise or just for fun?

hi bryanski, me too, I love swimming, it is relaxing and I feel the freedom to just move around wherever I like, swimming is more of a fun activity for me though :)

Here I am dear friend. A great lover of swimming. I do it for both exercise and fun. When I started swimming, it took me almost a month to learn swimming. I left it after learning Last year again I tried to swim but I was not able to complete even a single lap. So the Club persons asked me to gain stamina first and then return for swimming. I started Jogging daily morning, and when I reached upto 5kms of continuous jogging, then only I was able to complete one single lap of swimming. Within a month I was able to do 15 continuous laps of swimming. This shows my craziness for swimming.

I never see swimming as exercise because I prefer to go to the gym and work out on the treadmill, bike and cross trainer, swimming for me is fun, especially if you go with friends, I find it boring if you go on your own, just swimming up and down, I always swim in a pool and never the ocean because I feel safer in a pool. I love swimming under water as long as I have goggles because of the chlorine.

hi bryanski! i love to swim too! i guess that's what you get when you grew up near a lake. ^__^;; i don't do it for exercise though. like you, i do it for fun. a friend told me that those who make swimming as their routine exercise have a body that's kinda shaped like a torpedo. and i don't want a body like that. ^__^;; and when i'm in the water i fool around more than swimming around. ^__~ even though i know how to swim and i took classes in swimming when i was in college, i get conscious while i am swimming. i always imagine that there's someone watching me and waiting for me to commit mistakes in my strokes or waiting for me to bump my head or something. ^__^;;

I like to swim for enjoyment but it also happens to be superb exercise. I feel that swimming in warm water of a swimming pool or a tropical ocean makes me happy and gives me lots of energy. I love to go snorkeling, that is swimming with a great view underneath the ocean. I adore seeing colorful coral and friendly fish. If I am just swimming I stay close to the shore in water that I can stand in. When I go snorkeling I can get more exercise in deep water with pockets of coral to explore. The currents can work with me or against me. I swim in a semi circle to get back to the boat or shoreline. It can be shocking to look above the water and see how far I have to swim back. The tide can make me drift and I am often surprised to see my location in the water.

If we have a swimming pool I will definetely do it as an exercise! And I know swimming is a good exercise! So whenever I go swimming for me it's for fun.

I mostly swim for fun, but if I have to workout I still enjoy swimming. I have really gotten in shape this summer from all the swimming I've been doing. I am shocked that my body is actually looking a bit toned now and not just flabby and disgusting.

I enjoy the water and I find swimming fun, but I do not see myself as a "water person". I am not too confident with the water (especially on the beach) when it is too restless. I am always cautious and end up not swimming at all sometimes. I can swim but I am not that good at it so I have to be extra careful.

i am indifferent when it comes to swimming, i don't know how to swim .. i love to watch the sea but i am afraid to go far, in those deep places.. i am afraid of the living creatures in the sea (except fo the fishes) and also the plants..

Hi, nice to meet you here. I agree that swimming is a good exercise. However it is also can for fun.I had been attended for swimming class last time. I said swimming is a good exercise because it can make us lose of weight and get healthy. Besides for good for exercise, it is also good for fun with your friends when in a summer holiday. That might be a good place to go exercise as well as have fun at the same time. I like swimming very much! Have a nice day and happy my lotting!
