Adding Swimming to my Exercise Routine

[Inner Surfer Girl 12,015]

My wellness center has all kinds of toys: noodles, kick boards, weights, etc. The Y I used to belong to did, too.

I have a pair of very large foam dumbbells i bought online, they are made by Theraband and have lasted me for five years of vigorous 3x a week use. When I was starting out on swimming (the first regular exercise that ever stuck with me!), they were invaluable, and much more sturdy than the cheap ones at the pool. I now have a comprehensive workout but starting out doing a series of flexibility exercises in the Water made me get started.

Swimming seems to be a good replacement for the treadmill and elliptical machines that I need to stay away from. Today I used a kick board with swim fins for some variety. Hopefully I can make swimming a regular habit.
