Reason Two: Swimming

Without swimming, I would not have the stamina to run two or three miles. Through swimming, I became more mentally and physically fit for running. As a child, I overate and easily developed high cholesterol. I needed some kind of exercise to burn my fat, so I turned to swimming to help resolve this. It was not easy for me because miracles do not happen instantly for me. With a little patience, I lost all my baby fat in three years and maintained a normal cholesterol level. Thanks to swimming, I was able to run.
