Jumping in at the deep end

I have not been swimming for a long time. Life just got in the way - as it does.
So when I got back in the pool it was like I fell in love all over again.
I personally enjoy swimming first thing on a morning. It is refreshing and really wakes me up.
I was surprised at how easily I just got back into the swing of it.
A mile every Tuesday morning really does help me with virtually everything.
It clears my head and relaxes me. When I'm having a tough time with work, as I have been lately, it is great for de-stressing. It also helps improve my running by regulating my breathing pattern as well as strengthening my entire body.

Not the most flattering photo but I spent most of my holiday in Cyprus in the water. I'm at my happiest in the blue stuff.

I hope I don't ever have to miss so many weeks of swimming again because I almost forgot how much I loved it.
I recommend it to all fitness fanatics. It helps improve your cardio and nurtures your muscles helping to reduce the risk of injury.
Gliding through the water on a morning is so therapeutic. I wake up extra early so I can get in as soon as the pool opens and for the first five minutes it is just me and the water and it is so peaceful.
Just writing this is making me want to take the plunge again.
