It would be. Would be goat to have your own private pool to swim at. But unfortunately most pools are crowded with tons of disgusting people, at least around where I am.

I am addicted to swimming.

I do it every chance I get and when I am not doing it, I fantasize about doing it.

I have no idea why but I fugging love it so much. I am fortunate to have access to a 50 meter pool year round.

Yeah NYC here so am researching good private pools. Don't mind paying but feel the urge.

Was a lifeguard a lifetime ago srs, still remember flying through the water and cardio for days. Going to get back into it srs.

Nice. Do you do freestyle and stay in a lane doing say 45 minutes of laps? Or more butterfly savagery sprints off and on?

Am looking to boost my metabolism with this and cardio off the charts.

Swimming is great cardio. A few summers ago I would go to the pool in my neighborhood and do laps. When I was young I was on swim team but haven't done laps in many many years. It was crazy how hard it was. I'd love it if my gym had a pool.

Can you cite literature on this? All I see is a 1987 study incorrectly referenced as "chlorine causing" rather than "exercise causing".

Pretty sure most pool setups have classes and if you're a beginner even as an adult you can do that badge system thing.

There is a lot of technique in swimming (same with running tbh) and folks would get a lot more out of both with some serious training.

Isn't long distance running highly correlated with terrible joints later?

Thought it was normal for parents to take their kids to learn to swim at local pools while growing up? Maybe that depends on access to pools I guess.

Used to run 5v5 bball with the boys every friday. I remember this one week I did two swimming sessions of laps during the weekday. Then came friday. Stamina was thru the roof. I could run every fastbreak for hours and felt 0 fatigue

It’s great cardio. But there’s more to it for me. I legitimately think that people were meant to be around water, and swim regularly. It’s why I always imagined myself living near the ocean while I was growing up (though my life didn’t turn out that way). I like how pool lights shine on a house. I like being able to hear waves.

Yeah we used to swim in Lake Ontario all the time and I would swim in the pools of family members/friends every summer. I mean I don’t have zero swimming ability, I could probably wade if I had to, but I haven’t done it in a decade and even back then my swimming skills were pretty bad.

I swim 3 days a week (the 3 days that I don't lift) and my wife swims 6 or 7. My daughter "swims" most days too.

I do 2 miles and it takes me just under an hour.

Apart from less people, chlorine is a major advantage of a home pool. With less people using it, you use a UV filtration system that requires far lower chlorine levels.

One of the things that UK schools get right is that the national curriculm requires them to teach all primary school kids to swim.

My daughter could "swim" (avoid drowning whilst giggling a lot) around the same time as she could walk.
Screw nature; my body will do what I DAMN WELL tell it to do!

The only dangerous thing about an exercise is the person doing it.

They had the technology to rebuild me. They made me better, stronger, faster......

I swam competitively for like 14 years.

It's a great workout, but fuking boring. And you have no music because they can't make bluetooth headphones that work underwater.

I much prefer biking.
