Did you know, swimming purportedly boosts brain health? It's thought to improve cognitive function and memory. It can help release serotonin and endorphins which improves mood. And it helps blood flow.
Unless it was in our pool with parents who were careless with their young toddler and led to closure of the pool for a week while it was 'deep cleaned'.
I knew about some of the benefits, like an easier-on-the-muscles-and-bones way of exercise, but not all these! Good to know. Now, where does one go for a swim these days? (This was easier to do - daily - when I lived on my sailboat. :-))

It makes sense to me - perhaps because it is my preferred form of exercise.
Hi Sandra - yup ... as too a good walk in the fresh air - cheers Hilary
I love swimming, so glad it's healthy! Hugs, Valerie
I can't swim so I guess that is why my brain acts the way it does....lol.

You find the most interesting nuggets of knowledge 😺
No, but after this summer I should be in good brain health!
I haven't swam in years. It is an excellent form of exercise.
Agreed, Hills:)

I'm not surprised that swimming is so good for us. Another reason to get a pool! Lol.

Ha! Hope you are doing well. We've missed you in the blogosphere.
Well that would certainly be enough to scar a person when it comes to swimming.
Why thank you, CJ:)

That explains a lot about my brain, because I can't even doggy swim!(lol) Hugs and Happy Weekend! RO

Living on a sailboat. Wondrous. You definitely lived the dream.
