I posted this message a while ago, but I thought I'd ask again. I'm a University student writing an article on people ages 30-50 that swim on a regular basis. Specifically I'm looking for people that had joint or bone problems from other forms of exercise, ex: running- knee problems, and switched to swimming because of the low stress on your joints. Or if you would like to reply to this and tell me why you love to swim and why it helps you, that would be great too.
Thanks,

Swimming as a kid hurt me a little since I was not a better swimmer like my father wanted me to be. And one team I was on I was one of the slowest swimmers in the 15 and above age group but they had swimmers that made senior nationals and if you compared yourself to someone like Shirley Babashoff you would think you were slow. Anyway, I reentered as an adult because my mother suggest I do it for exercise. And since my form in breastroke wasn't bad I join masters into order to attend the meets.
