How i wish i could learn how to swim to enjoy the relaxing water on the beach 😉

You are very right about this. Many people don’t really know the benefits of swimming, but you have brought it out so clearly. The one thing am shocked about is horse riding I never knew that it exercises the whole body? In fact I did not know it’s a way of exercising the whole body. Is that why western countries love to go horse rides? In my country very few people can afford horses or even go for horse rides they are pretty expensive and are popular among the elite in the society.
But swimming is open for many many people it’s quite affordable and available all over the country. There are those who are fortunate enough to be able to put up houses that have swimming pools where their families can enjoy the outdoors. Do those who cannot afford that we have schools that offer swimming as a curriculum in the School, or some public swimming pools all over that offer swimming at a fee. We also have clubs and gyms that also have this facilities for their members. And this is very good it helps quite a number of people who are willing to keep fit. I used to think that swimming was just a sport to pass time until i went for lessons once and was given the benefits of swimming. It’s amazing what it does for your body all round. I loved my lessons but I did not pursue it as such. It’s only when i go on holiday that i remember about swimming. When I get to the beach and the water is looking all nice and cool, i always want to jump in and do whatever I need to do. But I can only do that with a floater on for safety just in case of anything. Thanks for sharing.

I love swimming though it had been so long since I had it, only in a hot spring pool. I could not do the breaststroke because it is so hard for me now, but I can always do the backstroke which is easier on my heart (as I feel it).
