currently it is not my priority, although it would be so nice…
i think, after march madness challenge…
How to swim at least once a week
It made me
feel healthier 
"swimming is the best exercise, and really relaxing too. 2 months and going strong!"
How I did it: I joined the athletic centre at my university. because it's so convenient, I can swim before or after my classes or work— most days I have to go there anyway.
I also got myself a little shower kit with mini shampoo and conditioner, body wash.. somewhat unnecessary but it definitely upped the convenience factor.
Best of all, I found a friend in one of my classes who wants to swim more too, so we've been going together.
I don't have the best swimming technique, but I just do what feels right and push myself when I feel like it.
Lessons & tips:
- find a pool with convenient hours, that is close to home or somewhere you have to go frequently (work, school)
- make sure you have the things you need— get a locker at the gym for your towel, flip flops, toiletries, etc.
- even if you only go for a short time, it's better to go anyway rather than break your routine.
Resources: my swim buddy, and my subsidized university athletics centre membership. and my metropass!

yesterday’s visit marked my third week in a row— and it felt really good. I’m also in the habit of a little jog first, which I’m confident I can keep up! and, I didn’t even feel sore this morning like I usually have after swimming.

I got a metropass for november which makes it easier to go to the gym/pool even on days I don’t have class.
I went to the gym on sunday, and also the previous thursday. maybe I will go today!

This morning was my 2nd swim of the year “already”! I’ve also committed to a new challenge which will give a new meaning to at least once:)

swim during lunchtime today – I’m very glad I’ve done this, it felt good too! If this goes well I might as well set the deadline a little more challenging:)
Side effect of the swim: it positively affects my posture! I was sitting upright afterwards, and it felt natural too.
