Swimming is my favourite form orb of exercise. I’ve always loved being in, on and around water.

The reason why swimming is my favourite exercise is that I get a whole body workout. I don’t have to spend hours in a gym with people grunting, posing and smelling. There is no loud music or TVs showing inane nonsense. I just get in the pool and swim with others just there to get their workout done. As I normally swim in an outdoor pool, it is almost always peaceful, even when busy.

I also love the fact that there is no impact on my knees or feet- I spend all day on my feet so it’s nice they get a rest!
