I heard this comment attributed to a former Olympic great and it resonated to me, "I swim because I feel better afterwards."
There's simply no other exercise that I do that leaves me feeling as simultaneously energized and mellow as swimming, even if I've had a bad workout. I use swimming very effectively as a drug to improve my professional performance: whenever I have a big client presentation, I try to ensure I swim that morning as they always go better when I do. More powerful than espresso!
