No time, no distance. Just swim!
If like me you're not the strongest swimmer and seem to find every excuse under the sun not to go, this is the challenge for you!
This challenge is not about time or distance it's simply about encouraging you to get back into (or even start) swimming!
Swimming is fantastic exercise and is very low impact so its great for recovery.

“This was pushed by my training for Hardcore Caribbean and my need to hustle the entire muscle exercise process flow. Was a great way to both start back exercising and also double as therapy for the achy muscles. Still doing it. I'm back in the water and I don't want to stop. :D”

Justine P answered the question Does anyone have any tips on getting water out of your ears?
Tilt your head to one side and put about a capful of rubbing alcohol in your ear. Let it sit for a few seconds then tilt your head the other way and dump out the alcohol. I swam in high school and would do this after...

Anna F logged 1.00 km of Swimming in 0:40:00 today
1000m tonight. If I can manage that twice a week for a month without missing a session I think I'll have cracked it! :-)

Pallavi A When I learnt swimming I learnt only the breaststroke style. These days m learning freestyle swimming. Hope to cross the "beginner" level in freestyle swimming by the end of this challenge.
Sofie W Whenever I say I'm going swimming it always ends up with me and whoever I'm with splashing or floating and no actual swimming! :P Went yesterday and actually swam properly.. Felt great after and I want to start going at least once or twice a week!

Sloane P Since retiring from being a division 1 swimmer in college, I've stayed pretty far away from the water. I got back in a few weeks ago for the first time in months, and realized how much I missed it! This challenge is great, because being in the water really does make me feel better. No times, no sets, no expectations--just swimming.
I find my morning and evening swims in the pool in the summer in Spain very relaxing. I never planned how long I would swim for, but I always end up in their for ages just because I love it.
Sloane P encouraged this.
