is swimming helping your soul also?

Yeah, definitly, swimming increases your patience and concentration,it releases tension and when you swim non stop after a while you go into that automode,where you really get out of this world,answer of your problems suddenly appear infront of your eyes, and you dont feel your body anymore, yeah definitly something spiritual, which i think is the result of physical comfort,due to floating and the cool water taking away the tension.It lets you forget about daily problems and be yourself.

well I can't say that I because I never swim in my life, but I just know only one thing that swimming is very good excercise for our body.

For me, swimming would be a freightening experience. I nearly drowned when I was a little boy. I had an out of body experience and met the saints. Since then, I try to stay out of the water. I like to take walks on quiet lands and roads to clear my mind and to relax and to think.

Yes swimming has several useful benefits to us I like swimming very much and every summer I used to go to beach for a long hours because also the sea is better than the swimming pool because it's salty water has many menerals that the body needs and also the skin. Yes swimming as you said makes me open minded and feeling fresh and makes you feel relax and laid in a magical world it is one of my best things in life is to go to beach and relax.

I agree whith you. I find it so relaxing and it helps me to feel good in my body and soul.

yeah, that is correct. even the sound of water or the sound of your hand flapping over the water can be too relaxing for the soul. some call it water therapy. i know a place called water spa and they feature different ways on how to enjoy water and relax over the goodness of water. they even have herbal pools and just the aroma of the pool awakens your soul.

It's possible, swimming can be very peaceful, surrounded by water. It probably reminds a person of being back in the womb!

yes, it used to to be a clearing ritual. it is good for anything
