Swimming
VOLUME 4 / 10
Swimming
Laps in the pool are my favorite way to reset.
Swimming laps is my favourite way to clear my head. Once I'm in the water there's nothing to check and nowhere to be: just the black line, steady breathing and counting lengths. I come out feeling more relaxed than when I went in, even after a hard set.

Chapter 1
Why I swim
It's a full-body workout that's easy on the joints, so it balances out the running and lifting. Swimming is also technical in a way I enjoy: small fixes to a stroke or a turn make a real difference, so there's always something to work on.
