Swimming is Freedom
“In exercise, water is our natural ally. It lightens our load, stimulates our circulation, protects us from injury, and buoys our spirits. At the same time, it exerts just enough resistance to let us know we’re doing some work. For that reason, it’s no surprise that swimming is one of the most popular ways to retain — or regain — physical and psychological fitness.”
