Why do I swim…I have been doing it all my life (56 years!) simply because I love the water, I love swimming. I feel graceful, powerful and strong in the water. It always provides the unbelievable opportunity of constant improvement! As a Jewess it is vital for me to be able to make a totally alien and if you will, hostile environment one in which I can not only perform but thrive. As a Jew I am required to live and perform in a world that in many aspects is contrary to our commandments and yet remain true to them. So being able to swim well and thrive in an element that is not naturally suited for a human being is great practice. It reminds me constantly that I can do it without loosing or compromising my essence.

I swim because I just love it.
I swim to get rid of the weekdays stress. it gives me time to relax my mind while swimming. It is just indescriptible.
Swimming has been with me my whole life. It has helped me in so many ways and it has been my solitude or my zen. It strengthens me mind, body, and soul. I feel connected to water and makes me happy to be a “Water baby” even though I’m in my 50′s. I’ve done open water swims and also lap swimming. Salt water or chroline, doesn’t matter but breathing to the tune of the water or waves brings me peace.
I have been swimming since college years, am a male 47 years old. Back in 2002 I broke my clavicle which was a painful experience and part of my rehab was swimming. Thanks to swimming I got back in shape, recovered my fitness level. Am very happy when I hit the pool.
I swim because inside the water, there is a feeling of just you and the tranquility of the water. It’s you making your way through it. You forget about pretty much everything.
I also jog and play football (soccer for the Yanks) and with both swimming and football, I don’t think about anything else (no problems, worries, etc) while I am practicing it.
