I like Swimming. It helps me get my daily exercise.
I used to like to swim - it's very good for your health. I can't swim at the moment so I go to the gym instead.
I prefer swimming to weight lifting because it's much more “low-impact”.
You're right there. I don't do weights, but I use the bicycle and other resistance machines to strengthen my legs.
I hope to get good enough to participate in local swimming competitions.
Wow, you must be good. Do you practice a lot?
Yeah, I just wish I started sooner. I wish swimming lessons were mandatory here like they are in other countries.
I didn't know that some countries mandate swimming lessons. I know we had swimming classes in Middle School, but my Mom had already taught us by then!
