Swimming 3 times a week for about 45 minutes changes the body and mind.

And is a little addictive like ex. running.

Background: I've been swimming for the last few years for about 10-20 minutes twice a week and I've experienced the changes.

Switching few months ago to more intense sessions led to dramatically higher rate of the change and I start to think about the ways of sustaining this. For now I've bought the swimming paddles and this works.

Nice, I have been doing this twice per week two and the results in my mood are awesome. The waves have been a bit wild this week at my local beach but hoping it comes back to quiet to go back again
I learnt how to swim this year (36M), and I've never felt better. I LOVE being in the water. It is an amazing feeling, and the cold water helps me calm down
