Swimming

🏊 Swimming

Swimming has been part of my routine since 2022—wish I’d started sooner.

🤔 Why Swim?

Swimming is a highly efficient low-impact exercise with unique benefits:

• Joint-friendly – Gentle on knees, hips, and back, ideal for recovery or mobility issues.
• Full-body workout – Engages all major muscle groups, improving strength and endurance.
• Cardio boost – Strengthens heart health, expands lung capacity, and helps regulate blood pressure.
• Scalable intensity – Works for beginners and advanced athletes alike.

� vs Other Exercises

• Solo activity – No teams, no distractions. Just you and the water.
• Meditative rhythm – Repetitive strokes create a natural focus, like moving meditation.
• Easy consistency – Pools are available year-round, making daily laps practical.
• Flow state – The zone comes naturally with swimming, no extra effort needed.
