Do you like to swim? Can you? Only to save your life, or do you do it for fitness and/or fun?

I'm trying to do it for fitness but I'm having a hard time enjoying it. :giggle I can swim a mile or so but meh it's just boring and requires too much concentration. Maybe if I could swim a mile straight out or whatever it wouldn't be so bad, but having to turn around every 25 meters really keeps me from ever truly zoning out.
 
I used to swim 3/4 of an hour every lunch time when I was younger and I worked near the local pool, so I CAN swim BUT ... now I don't swim as much as float! I seriously can not sink under the water .. I just keep bobbing to the top all the time. I'm like my own personal life preserver :giggle its the big chest I think ROFL
 
I bigfatpuffyheart swimming... Of any variety - doing it for fun, doing it as a workout, watching it...

I love to swim! But what is this 'workout' thing you speak of? :giggle I thought I would like it -- I even was on the swim team my senior year in HS. I hated it. And after growing flippers instead of feet because you couldn't get me out of the local swimming pool as a child (I had a summer pass and stayed there from opening to close), I thought I would be good at it. Yeah. I sucked. Really, really bad.

I prefer swimming and body surfing in the ocean. That's my favorite way to swim. :beat

I really enjoy swimming. For recreation and for work outs. I love that I am sweating but not grossed out.. I do body pump/zumba/step and I am soaking wet with sweat..ugh.
my hubs was a swim team for years, and HE HATES swimming...hates it, finds no enjoyment in going to a pool just to play. I love it...the kids are just in love with water, and it is pure heaven to me.
 
I was always a fish growing up. Loved to swim. I still do love to swim, but only to play in a pool or at the beach, I can't actually do any strokes or like breath right to swim for any long distance. :)
 
I'm not a good swimmer, have had some bad experiences, and pretty much won't get into the water anymore. Oh, and that swimsuit thing. Nope, that's not gonna happen.
