I have always been a fish. My Grandmother tells stories of me as a young girl, shouting "again! again!" at my Grandfather throwing me into the pool. The pool has always been my happy place, a place to clear my head, and something I was good at. In my glory teenage years as a swimmer I beat records and won championships in my speciality stroke, the butterfly. Because of that I am blessed and cursed with strong, broad shoulders... this makes it challenging for wedding dresses, but great for active rest days. Although I didn't hit the weights today, I made sure to get at least the recommended 30 minutes of exercise daily by doing something I love, swimming!

Some benefits of swimming:

- Increases circulation
- Reduces risk of heart disease
- Targets many different muscle groups
- Builds endurance
- and as sweater, my personal favorite benefit - it keeps you cool!
