swimming a good hobby? The fastest time recorded for an

Try swimming

It's never too late to try swimming,
and there are lots of reasons why it's an amazing
sport. Firstly, water is all around us, so it's important
to know how to be safe in and near water.

Another reason why you should go swimming is that it is very, very healthy. Swimming is an intense aerobic
workout. It uses lots of different muscle groups, so it's a great way to get fitter and stronger.

Finally, swimming is a great sport to do both alone and in a team. You can swim alone and take some time to
think about your day, and you can make some new friends and enter competitions as a team. It's so much fun!
If you're a beginner, or maybe you haven't been swimming for a long time, get back in that pool and enjoy it.
It's such a healthy hobby!
