Why I swim...

It's the exercise I chose for the second half of my life. A lot easier on my knees and shoulders than the running, basketball and volleyball I'd done in my younger years.

I like the people I swim with!

It's all good! (Workout/Fitness, swimsuits, FRIENDSHIPS, JIMBY,)!!!

i like dodging band-aids and hairballs.

It's keeping my ears always clean, last time I checked, belly button too :)

Water is an element I can move through without being a complete klutz!

I would love to say "to look down and not see a paunch" but sadly, it's there.

I swim because: I am uncoordinated when it comes to land sports I like to compete. It keeps me healthy. It gives me a reason to travel. I just can't see traveling some place that doesn't involve something for work or for swimming. I want to settle unfinished business since my age group and college careers were lackluster. I love swimming in long course and my new passion, open water.

My reason (not on the list) I LOVE THE WATER! :bliss:

I swim for one reason, to go faster.
