Is swimming a good exercise?
A famous proverb says " Health is wealth". It is actually very true. Only if the body is healthy we will be able to do our work. In this hectic life, I think exercise is very necessary to keep us relaxed. Actually speaking I don't have time to go to the gym for exercising. But recently I came across an article which speaks about the health benefits of swimming(http://www.soldapools.com/blog/service- ... -swimming/). It says that swimming can make you relaxed and can help you to get rid of stress and tension. Is it true? I have a pool at home. So will it serve the purpose? What are all the exercises that can be done at home? Please do share your suggestions.

Just started swimming recently myself. I'm not great at it yet but I am building up stamina and ability. I started out not even being able to put face in the water, lots of progress for me!

I like to swim every now and then, but if your goal is strength, then I'd not make it the main part of your workout. You can use it after training for relaxing, or during your rest days at a slow pace, so you can remain active.

Hello,
When it comes to cardio, in experience, nothing is more difficult and makes you feel like your gonna puke than wrestling and swimming.

I used to swim at school, but because of injury, it was difficult to continue. Now it's not difficult to swim 25 meters. When I needed to lose weight I was advised to swim, and really, I lost weight very quickly, and body became tightened. In addition, it's a great way to relax after a working day.
