Answer 3

I like swimming because it isn't as physical as some other sports, though I like those too. Also, you won't die of heat stroke (haha). Right now I'm on the school swim team, but I don't really want to change although I'd be up for something tougher if I'm in the mood.

Answer 4

I like the feeling of adrenaline.

no sweating

I'm working on quicker starts.

Answer 5

I have a swimming pool. I love swimming and so do my kids. They were all swimmers in Jr High School and High School. I am not able to swim anymore, because I broke 5 vertebraes in my back, and have had 3 back surgeries. I do water or aqua therapy in the pool every day in the summer, and I go in my hot tub 2-3 times per day. I used to be an excellant swimmer, I was a certified life guard.
