Freestyle

Around a year and a half ago I picked up swimming again. Hands-down it’s been the best thing I’ve done for my physical health and mental wellbeing. It’s tough, but I have an absolute blast each time I go for a swim.

I’m now part of a community of swimmers that meet regularly and get put through our paces for a solid hour. My goals have changed from ‘don’t sink’ to ‘how far past 2km can I go?’

Seen as I’ve got you here, I’ll extol some of the many benefits of swimming:

  • keeps your heart rate up but takes some of the impact stress off your body.
  • builds endurance, muscle strength and cardiovascular fitness.
  • helps maintain a healthy weight, healthy heart and lungs.
  • tones muscles and builds strength.

And that’s my Seven of Seven! Thanks to @ricknunn and @spagerina for putting this challenge out there. Picking up the camera regularly has certainly benefited my photography and has got the creative juices flowing for more projects.
