I think this is going to be a nice addon to my workout schedule. I swam for about 1 1/2 hours. How do you feel about swimming?

I have myopia and I wear contact lens. My eye sight is quite bad, and I need to wear contact lens whatever I do. Swimming doesn't go well when I have this problem. So, it's been literally ages since I went swimming last time.

I use goggles when I swim and when I am diving I just close my eyes when I am under the water. myopia might make it harder, I am not real familiar with it so I am unsure.

As long as you have you eyes closed under water you really have nothing to worry about. I have had contacts for years and have been swimming as long as I have had them. Never had any trouble.

It was really just an opportunity to get the kids to have fun. I think it's important to get children used to the water from an early age. Aaron

Aaron Swimming is one of those things that, once you learn, you won't forget for the rest of your life. It's definitely ideal that a young child learns how to swim.

Possibly one of the best total-body workouts a kid can get while just having fun.
