I believe that one of the best forms of exercise is swimming. It’s very low impact, compared to, say, jogging, and yet the fitness benefits are probably better. It helps your lungs stay in shape, thanks to the rhythmic breathing you have to do while swimming. It’s one terrific aerobic exercise if you do it right.
In college, I used to be with the swimming varsity team. I tried out in my first year, and the coach told me that I needed more training, but he accepted me anyway. It was a good run–err–swim for me. Until I started smoking two years later. The team captain caught me with a cigarette one lazy afternoon on campus… and that was it for me.
