I love swimming. It allows me to get a good low-impact workout which is easier on my joints than running is.
I swim sometimes, but I am not very fast, my brother is a great swimmer though
That's neat. The pros get pretty deep with it, learning specific strokes and techniques like butterfly, backstroke, etc. I just like to swim for fun usually!
He does that as well, but he is not a pro, just competes for school. I used to use an outdoor pool, but there were to many people for my tastes
I understand that. It's crazy how long competitive swimming has been around. Since 1830 I believe, it started in Britain
that is a long time, but I suppose nobody had to invent water, like other sports needed
Haha that's a good point, I hadn't thought of that. There are actually paintings as old as 10k years old that show people swimming, I guess it's just always been a part of human's way of life.
that is very old, I guess they did not care to compete much though in those days, more important things to worry about
True. It was probably more for survival, hunting, etc.
