Swimming is one of my favorite ways to exercise and I feel like I can think so clearly under the water.  It is no wonder that swimming is always one of the top rated activities!
I would love to swim for exercise! I just kind of flutter around in the water. Is there a certain stroke I should learn?
If you are afraid of having your head under water I highly recommend the breaststroke because you can keep your head up and go slow with no problem.  The backstroke is a nice relaxing stroke.
Those are great tips, thanks! I would imagine that swimming is great for building muscle, do you agree?
For sure and its low impact so it makes it easier on your body.  The butterfly stroke uses your arms and legs so its great for building muscle!  I need to start going myself to one of the local gyms that has an indoor pool.
