Get in the swim
A low impact workout that builds strength and tones your muscles, swimming is also calming and therapeutic. Plus, gliding through that cool, invigorating water just feels fantastic. Challenge yourself to find a local swimming pool and swim some laps solo or with a buddy.
(When logging progress for this challenge, only log as many days as you participated the activity within the 30-day timeframe.)
our pools all open on Memorial Day, last year I was able to swim every day, and that’s what I plan to do this year also.
im so sad! im a beach girl, i go almost every day… but i just got my hair fixed (it was realllly damaged due to hair straightening, swimming in the ocean, and dying it) and my stylist told me i cant go in the ocean anymore or my hair will get ruined! luckily i have a pool so i should be ok as long as i dont get my hair wet.
@LeRomantique: Maybe you could try wearing a swimming cap. I live in San Francisco, and I’ve seen lots of people wearing them when they’re swimming in the bay.
i cant find one.. seriously, where can you get one? i live in florida and i actually got my hair wet yesterday because i was snorkeling and i couldnt resist actually going all under water. it was worth it and my hair didn’t get messed up so my hairdresser must have lied to me… haha
Hello! I live in Ohio so no oceans for me (however, we’ve got a pretty nice lake (Erie). But better yet, my husband bought me one of those 18’ seasonal swimming pools that I plan on using as soon as our weather warms up more. It’s only around 60-65 degrees during the day with 40 degree nights right now/ I’ll officially join the challange when the pool is set up and it’s warm enough to use it!
i’ve been swimming pretty regularly now for a few weeks, but i’ve kind of hit my plateau. my goal is to master the freestyle! i don’t know what it is about that stroke that gets me, but i shall conquer!! :)
Im just starting to get back into it…it has been delayed for the past 7 months since I was diagnosed with colon cancer. I plan to go to the YMCA on my off chemo weeks and start swimming! Im done with all my surgeries and Im good to go! I believe exercise during chemo is vital and can extend your life as well. Im ready to grab the passion again!
