I used to be a competitive swimmer before i became ill. it used to be my passion.I am going to start swimming again. ill slowly ease into it maybe once or twice a week until i can build up the stamina to do it more often, but my goal is to compete again, even if it is only race. plus i need the exercise. hopefully i can stay committed and not give up like i always do but its worth a shot!

Do you have a place to swim? Do you prefer open water or pool swimming?
I did a 1.5mile open water swim race the year before I got ill. It was a great time. I was training for triathlons at the time so I was really in shape and swam the whole way without stopping. I really miss swimming too.
i swim in a pool. i wish i could do open water swim, i love swimming long distances
Good luck with it! Hope it works out for you.
I wish I had swimmed in high school. I want to be better in the water. If I fell out of a boat in the middle of a lake I would be in trouble because I don’t swim very well.
