Finally, after struggling for 2 months, I could awake the swimmer in me. It gives me a sense of achievement and satisfaction. I am excited and eagerly awaiting every morning to take a dip in deep chlorinated water. I measured the swimming pool using the Google maps and found that every day I cover a distance of 300 metres by swimming. It's a great exercise. Every day I try different strokes, starting from upward floating to under-water and breaststroke.

Swimming is one of the most popular forms of aerobic exercise, and it is an excellent activity for anyone who wishes to get fit and stay active. Swimming exercise uses more of the overall muscle mass of the body than almost any other form of exercise, and people get an upper-body workout and a lower-body workout, unlike running or biking or other activities like tennis, where you get a good workout in just the legs. In addition, as with most aerobic exercise it is believed to reduce the harmful effects of stress.

Overall, swimming is an excellent form of exercise. Because the density of the human body is approximately similar to that of water, the body is supported by the water and less stress is therefore placed on joints and bones. Since then the buoyancy of the water protects the joints, water exercise is a particularly good choice for people who are overweight or who are prevented from taking part in other activities because of injuries or other physical limitations. Therefore, swimming is frequently used as an exercise in rehabilitation after injuries or for the disabled.
