I do a good bit of lap swimming (see goals - lower left) so I have lots of time to think about it. I routinely see athletic folks who can't swim, or swim poorly + often wonder why I find it so easy - I'm not particularly athletic. This blog is about what I'm learning about swimming dynamics + some fun stuff too.
For your safety, all posts + comments are musings + tips that have worked for me - opinion only. For the record, I strongly suggest following Red Cross swim-safety protocols.

Be Happy - Swim
I've noticed when I'm getting to the pool in the morning - about 6:30am - there is a bunch of people leaving who are happier than any other group I meet all day. It's the Masters swim group. They get there at the crack of dawn. Why are they happy? I've had my theories - including it's because their work-out is over. But even the stray person I see when I'm done with my workout - we late risers don't finish as a group - are also pretty content. I came across this article today which talks about the psychological benefits of exercise. Nice read. Enjoy.
