Swimming is excellent!!!
Started swimming at the tender age of 5 and got very good at it, was even offered to be in the sports school beause of this sport, turned it down because my parents and i couldn't see the benifits of being away from home at such young age.
Anyway i continue to swim leasurely and would do distance of 2.5km about once a month or so. It helps keep my endurance and trains your breathing.
there is one drawback thoughm do not expect swimming to be the short cut for loosing weight, instead, expect yourself to gain weight as muscle weights more than fat!

Swimming is a very good exercise. I have been swimming for the last month or so because I have a back injury which I have put on some pounds that I need to take off. Just by that short time I have taken almost all of that weight off as well as I am building the mucles that I have lost over the last 2.5 years because of having the back injury. I go swimming about 3 - 4 times a week.

swimming is a very nice exercise, before few days I dint have a swimming pool around so swimming was a big problem. I use to go to beach once in a month or once in 2 months to swim. It was really difficult. But now i am in a foreign country for studies and in my student accommodation there is a nice and clean swimming pool. Now i am enjoying every bit of it. I take swimming as a fun. Swimming is a good exercise but to reduce weight this a timely way. I think you should take swimming as fun, dont consider it an exercise.

I do not have a pool, nor do I ever go to any public pool, so I only swim when a friend with a pool invites me over. I'm not really a great swimmer, because I get tried very fast, so I just play in the water most of the time, and it is really refreshing. I also like to go in the ocean. I like the ocean more than a pool because the ocean is alive. You don't really know what it is going to do, and it's more risky. I love it!
