I am just wondering out of pure curiosity if anyone else swims, and if you do, please tell your experience if you wish to!

I love to swim because it's first off a great work-out and it's nice to just be able to swim and think about whatever you wish to think about. I am currently competitively swimming. :3 It's quite tiring, but it's worth it!

Honestly, I hate swimming. Everytime there was a swimming class in school I always refuse to participate. Our school doesn't have it's own swimming pool so we had to go to an aquatic centre (well not really) and we had to pay to enter the place. Even if we don't swim we are asked to also pay which is somehow stupid. For workout, I prefer running since it's cheap and I can instantly run once I get outside of my house.

Haha I totally understand what you mean, my school also does not have a swimming pool, so we rent another school's outdoor swimming pool, we swim at night during the winter..... The temperature gets to low 60's °F to even low 40's °F ......

But just because of price should not cause you to have anger towards swimming! And especially since you said you never gave it a try or even wanted to participate, you should! Once you get the basics down, it's really fun and it's a whole new world you cannot imagine!

Well paying wasn't really the reason I hated swimming. I'm not really sure why but I basically did not like it from when I was so young and one thing for sure is I'm a terrible swimmer. Anyway, in Junior High School I got a severe injury on my left knee from playing soccer and it wasn't able to return to it's normal condition anymore since then. To make things worse in the last year of college I got an injury on my right knee from playing Futsal (a type of Indoor Soccer if you didn't know). So yeah, I think swimming is just not for me. haha

Ahhh ouch! I have also injured my shin from soccer! But both knees injured, that's a tough one indeed.
Yea I know what Futsal is! A few years back, I would go to a local YMCA a lot and there was a futsal-like court there.

But I perfectly understand your point haha. And it's true, not one sport is for everyone, just like how I am definitely not a baseball player! (I tend to almost never hit whenever I bat)

My right knee has actually healed but my left knee just feels a bit weak and became injury-prone. I realized this after I got injured again couple of times after that. Anyway, I still think that even if I haven't got injured I would probably still hate swimming. haha

Wow, it seems soccer has really grown bigger in the US and in North America. I once lived in Canada nobody seemed to care about soccer at that time but that was a very very very long time ago.

I used to swim when I was a child. I swimmed for like 6-7 years. But it was always the same thing, and when day I got bored and just left lol And I hated to workout SO MUCH.

Oh that's cool I love swimming a lot I swim a few times a week in a pool near my house and it's a great sport to keep fit I honestly don't find any other sport as good as swimming because after swimming I feel relaxed I love diving as well or basically swimming underwater xD maybe even more than swimming itself

^Yay! A positive response! XD

I really do admire that you swim on your on free will on your free time! To be honest, if I was not in a swim team, I would probably slouch my way to a swimming pool to swim in.

I could not agree more! I mean sometimes I feel a bit tired, but I don't feel all hot and sweaty like others sports such as basketball or football.
