I so so miss swimming🐟🏊♂️ Since the "thing", everything is closed for the public. It helped me a lot with stress management and it made me feel better. I also miss it because I used to do sauna after swim and I loved to sit like a teddy and soak up that heat lol. I guess any sport is pretty awesome, but for me swimming has been like a therapy as it helped me get unstuck from my overthinking brain and just chill. Yup. I miss it a lot
Absolutely makes no logical sense not being allowed to swim, look how happy he is showing bear stroke in blissful silence underwater 😄, hope you can hit the water soon!
Ahhh yes, I think the same thing! That polar bear is happy, I want to be in his place. At least until the ice is not completely melting lol
Yup another species in trouble with global warming, or climate change. Looks very content in the silence under water.
Oh yes! They are endangered, I was reading in a magazine that because the ice melts, a lot of bears can swim to exhaustion and die because they find no ice to put their feet on. I have found this to be utterly sad... Swimming until death because we humans have affected the climate so much.
I love to see how big animals like whales, dolphins, bears, seals, can be such delicate swimmers.
Oh don't forget our Happy Hippo that can walk/cruise/swim under water too, yes animals are having a rough time with climate change!
Oh yes the hippo!! Totally worth the mention!
For me I miss my freedom, swimming! Nah am scared of water🤣
I used to be afraid too until I learned how to swim. I still use a floatie if the pool is super deep. I like how I can float in water and feel so relaxed.
🤣🤣 wow that sounds like an idea I will try using the foatie, inside of me I wish to know how to swim but got no caurage 😄😰
The floatie will help, have faith and you will succeed!
Thanks for your help I really appreciate 🙏
Swimming is a sport as well 🙌
Oh yes and it is not easy. But I have found it to be a good antistress remedy
I can swim but never did for sport purpose but whenever I swim, always it made me feel better and fit coz during swimming we use most of our muscles.
Swimming is excellent therapy and from what I read, it makes you very happy. It's good exercise, helps you stay focused and relax, just like meditation.
Exactly! It is like meditation, I can feel my mind going positively blank and silent when I swim. It is wonderful to be free of thoughts and just relax
You are very lucky, i hope you return soon to swim.
I hope the same😍
We are not allowed to enter the beach here due to the outbreak. I miss swimming at the beach every morning and we do neet Vitamin sea too..it's scorching here. I can't agree with you anymore: Swimming is a therapy :)
Oh the sea.... I bet it felt wonderful to be able to go out and swim away your worries and then return on the hot sand and chill. Hopefully it will all come back to normal so you could enjoy this again!
Hmm yeah so many restrictions due to the pandemic shenanigans.
Question: you have a lot of hair on your noggin so do you use a swimming cap to keep it dry or do you wash and dry it after each swim? I'd imagine that would take a long time!
Either way let's hope you swim like a polar bear again soon!

I put my hair in a tight bun on top of my head (I could catch radio signals with it lol) and put the cap over and squuueezee. I look like an alien lol. It tightens my face and keeps the hair out as I would not have the patience to dry my hair after swimming. And chlorine is bad for hair. I rather sit in the sauna for 30 min than drying the hair. Oh I do hope their reopen, I will sit all day 😍😍
You on your way to swimming.
Hahahahhaha I suppose I am green from the youth elixir I have seen in your picture haha. Forever young and swimming, damn I am lucky lol
Just think how fit and healthy you'll be if you swim and walk like this. #newexercisecraze
I think about the get fit part a lot. I was able to see good improvements in my appearance after swimming constantly. Totally worth it as I would not hit the gym because being in a closed space with others who are sweating is so not my cup of tea lol
I hate gyms...All those meat heads looking at themselves in the mirror, grunting after doing one rep and looking about to see who's looking. Hideous.
Swimming isn't my thing though. I can do it but...Well, I can't float. I know, crazy right? I wasn't built for floating it seems. Lol.
For me, I miss playing badminton very much. Although not very related to the topic, but I really like your photo. 😁
Badminton, that's cool! I loved the picture too this is why I shared. Have a lovely weekend!
This polar bear also looks very relaxed while swimming. I know what you mean, I really miss climbing, just focussing on one thing and being one with the exercise you are doing. Hope you get to swim again soon!
Oh climbing! That's so cool. I instantly thought of that guy from Free Solo, who climbed with no safety equipment, no rope and completely free. I think it's a cool sport, filled with adrenaline.
I can't wait to be able to swim again, it will help me a lot with stress management!
Man that movie was great! My level is nowhere near good enough to climb without any protection though and I don't think I would have the nerves for it either... Swimming sounds much more relaxing!
Yes it was! I was cringing all the way. His girlfriend must have been so so worried.... It is admirable though, although a little bit too crazy. Swimming is safer than climbing without protection for sure
ENGAGEtokens.
