I am 50 years old and decided that I was finally going to learn to swim as this year's personal fitness goal. I love the feel of water. I also love to learn. Since I am a beginner, I have a lot too learn.
Godspeed!!
Keep it up
I am 63 and have been swimming since I was a little kid, and had swimming lessons in Jr. High. I wanted to lap swim for fitness and because I absolutely love the water, so I signed up for adult swim lessons to learn how to swim better. I had a great instructor and never regretted it a bit. I swim 3 x per week but am thinking about challenging myself to swim every day for a month, like one of his other videos! By the way there is an elderly gentleman who looks about 90 yrs old that I see swimming laps! He is a great inspiration! I want to be 90 and still swimming!
Enjoy it :)
try Total Immersion swim training . I took their seminar because it is a system based on taking non swimmer into lifetime swimmers.I mean they are not competitive swimmers for the most part but they can swim distances easily train for fitness, weight loss triathlon but not directed only to those seeking to become an Olympic sprinter .TI is the way to learn for regular people who want to obtain the skills needed to move forward to gain heath in an efficient pleasant manner. See Tim Ferris learns to swim with TI
I’m 67 and a lifelong swimmer. Just joined a masters group and swim with them 5x/week. It has reenergized my love with swimming. It’s great to be with others in water, I work harder and feel great. Every day in pool is a good day.
That's great Stephen! Happy swimming!

Inspirational !!
Nice one
I love the feeling of being in water, the meditative aspect, the gratification of accomplishment. 😻 My mother was a swimmer, and was still teaching water exercise to a group of women in the pool at her condo 3 weeks before she died at 102. She swam a mile in the ocean just about every day going from her place to the pier and back. My hero. And I married a swimmer, so when he joined a masters team in our 50’s I did too. 😍 now I’m 77 and carrying on by myself.
Wow! What a story, Suz! Thanks for sharing how swimming has been such a big piece of your family
How encouraging, Suz! I am 79 and I swim every day. I love reading about the benefits of swimming, it makes me more determined to continue. 🎉🎉🎉
I love to swim because makes me feel better. The contact with the water is wonderful.
Happy swimming :)
All sports are really great fun ,but especially swimming 😃🏴🙋♂️
It's scary
Can you tell me if it makes you stronger and helps with muscle gain
What about dry skin?
Because of swimming, I don’t have to go to a shrink😃
Happy swimming! 😎
I’m 70 and I swim 3-4 times a week about 12 round-trip laps at the gym swimming pool. I think it’s kept me youthful, both physically and mentally. People say I only look like someone in their 50’s. I always feel energetic and in a good mood.
I swim 6-7 times a week. Mon: Freestyle. Tue: IM. Wed: recovery swim. Thu: mixed/ or distance. Fri: Fun Friday/ lots of drills. Sat: Long distance. Sun: mixed/ lighter swim. It’s the best and puts a huge smile on my face 😊
That looks like a great swim schedule!
What’s “IM” and “recovery swim”?
@@FaresKsebati Apparently, it was your schedule and she wanted to know what they mean🙂
It puts me in a meditative state and I always feel better after a swim.
Happy Swimming!
I started to swim as my main exercise a few weeks back. The first day I started, I was wrecked after 4 lengths of a 25m pool. I'm now able to complete 30 lengths consecutively with no stopping and 64 lengths in total.
I have done sports all my life (soccer, basketball, volleyball, cycling, tennis, running)...but swimming is a whole different experience.
The feeling after a swim workout is simply unmatched.
We agree!
Absolutely yes !! Daily swimming of at least 500mtrs keeps you flexible , agile and calm ...my personal experience , learned it at 51😊
I got into swimming ten years ago and lost 100 lbs. I recently jumped back in and ran into your videos looking for ideas. Thanks for everything
Happy Swimming!
It really makes me feel better about myself. Mentally and physically, it’s just the best exercise one can do. Without putting pressure on any joints of the body. Happy swimming 🏊🏾 ❤
Swimming has never been more important and more necessary to me in my entire life than this period of time because we in Greece are on the 2nd lockdown now and it's the only meaningful activity I'm engaging right now. Every single day I want to walk to the beach near my house and swim no matter summer or winter, windy or calm. The beach is the magical place to be and the sea is the perfect place to swim.
Thank you for sharing! Swimming really is an amazing and special sport!
I just
37 years old / 6 days per week swimming, I love swimming cause it gives me more than it takes.. it gives me clear mind, self confidence, good shape and no need for others when I see the swimming pool I just say home sweet home
That's amazing! Happy swimming, Riham!
I just feel more balanced and present after a swim.
💯 Happy swimming :)
I agree with all 10!
My number one is the meditative aspect of swimming - I go into a mindful, in the moment state and everything except immediate sensation is stopped.
I'm with you on this. I love the workout my body gets and the results, but it is the "in the moment" feeling that I get that keeps me swimming. I'm a runner and I run for the same reason. But. I tore a calf muscle almost 4 months ago and it caused me to rekindle my love with swimming
I'm swimming because it makes me feel that I'm alive.
Amazing! Happy swimming :)
Thats so amazing to read, nice one
Yes. Agree
82 now, swim 100* 25 meters , Monday Wednesday Friday f/crawl, usually about 65minutes. No 9 is SO true
There is no way you can swim 2500 meters in 65 minutes at your age.
@@quistley4799 why can't they? I was swimming 1min 27 second 100m when I was 8. They only have to maintain a slow 2min 6 second 100m. Its just endurance.
@@hayleyb8438 yea idk what that guy is thinking. Just cuz your older doesn't mean you can't do something especially a 2 min 100. They probably have been swimming their entire life. Not all 80 year olds are the same. Some people that are 50 have the body of 90 and vice versa!
I used to swim competivily in highschool. I had a love and hate relationship with it, but swimming competivly transformed me. I thankfully stopped competive swimming after highschool, but I still hit the pool for a few laps because it helps me feel good everywhere. More energy, better cardio, clear mind, back pain relief, and makes me feel younger.
Nothing beats a good 30 min solo swim with no one talking. Just you and the methodical sound of swimming.
So true! That's so awesome to hear!
I get such a great feeling after swimming. Gives me such a positive vibe. I’m working hard at all my strokes, started swimming about 10 years ago. Hoping to compete soon. I’m 59, and hope to continue for many years.
I love swimming because I don't sweat! I love the sound of the water, the feel even the smell. And I love that I can do this exercise when I'm about 80 lbs overweight. It's going to help me it's great, I love it!!
That’s awesome! Keep it up!
I swim to lose weight and improve my overall health. I feel so good afterwards and my confidence is improving the more I swim.
Amazing! Happy swimming :)
I’m 68 YO lady and I just started swimming by watching your videos and learning. I’ve had 5 back surgeries and many other surgeries as well. This is the only workout I can do. After 3 months of swimming 6 days per week people in my retirement community are commenting on how I’ve improved as well as my growing muscles. Who ever said an “older” post-menopausal woman can’t grow muscle was wrong. I should mention that I also have lupus and fibromyalgia. I recommend every older person should take up swimming.👍
I am 40 and I started swimming about 3 years ago. Last Year, I joined a masters group and I swim 5 to 6 days a week. I have already participated in some local competitions I have enjoyed it a lot. Well, I swim because I can have some time for myself, I can meditate, I can keep fit and also reach some personal goals. So I have developed some discipline as well. I love it and I really enjoy this channel. Thanks for everything, you are great. I am from the south of Brazil!!! :)
I'm really overweight and I love swimming because it allows me to workout without injuring myself. Considering the health problems I was facing before I started swimming, its really saving my life.
I swim breaststroke when I go to the pool and extending into streamline and gliding through the water is the greatest feeling! (BTW, thanks for the great breaststroke technique video MySwimPro!)
It’s so relaxing for my mind while a work out for my body.
Happy swimming :)
I swim 9 times a week and I love it but I always miss one day of swimming per week to allow my body to recover. It's an amazing sport and when I swim I forget about everything (e.g. school, any problems) and I just focusing on swimming.
That's great! It's always smart to do what is best for your body.
I’ve been swimming every day for 32 days in a row so far. It’s changing my life. It is an amazing escape. Fitness improves rapidly- both mental and physical. Best decision I’ve made in a very long time!!!! I love it.
I am a night person and was awake until 5am every day and since I’ve started swimming daily I’m dropping by midnight !
I just learned swimming crawl, and I've wanted to learn crawl all my life, so now that i can swim it, it makes me so entusiastic and happy and looking forward to swimming more and more
😀 I feel so happy when I am swimming, and that feeling stays with me for the rest of the day! Thank you for your wonderful - helpful, interesting, fun - videos.
Great list. I like #9. I'm a 3x per week as I do bike and run as well. I hear your voice in my head when I'm swimming which is a great motivator. Thanks!!
I agree with Stephen Rogers, I´m from México and I love to swim since I was a kid, by now I´m 51 years old, for me, I have stressful work so when I swim, is like to escape as you say from email, anxiety, stress and I love the sensation of being strength, feel free, as you say meditation just focus on breading, improving my skills. So I love to swim it gives me the opportunity to feel like flying by myself under the water.
I love all 3+: mental, fitness, competition (even now just against myself), plus how it feels to be in the water.☺️
Bonus: Exercise is awesome for your brain-especially for ADHD brains!
Daily Open sea swimmer for the last 3 years and loving it.
Amazing! Happy swimming :)
Thanks for your video, iam 59 and started to learn swimming 6 months ago. You have perfectly described the reasons to take up swimming every day. I am practicing the same.....😄 enjoying every moment in the water!
I started to swim 2 weeks ago and already love it! My technique isn't perfect yet, but getting better every day!
It's great because it is cardio that isn't hard on the body (joints, etc.) and beeing in the water is starting to become like meditation, which I always love!
I totally agree with You! I 😮 swim daily since 2021, I have a sciatica nerve & Arthritis issues. It’s the only exercise I can do to keep fit. Perfect.🙏
I totally agree. Swimming is very relaxing and I get into a meditative state when I do it. I also feel fantastic when I get out of the pool!
I love the connection with the water. When I swim I feel like I can fly, even if it's the hardest training I always feel like I can fly
totally!! Happy swimming :)
Why I love swimming? Because I've tried and failed to learn to swim when I was a youth. And I finally learnt it at age 40. As my knees and feet start to hurt with too much standing, walking and running, swimming is my go to exercise to ease my pain and give me a sense of accomplishment.
Thanks for all your amazing tips
I love swimming, it’s my favourite thing in the world. It works me so hard, and engages all my muscles. I mainly swim because I can escape from all other things going on around me. Flip turns are my favourite part about swimming for sure.
Couldn't agree more! Happy swimming :)
Swimming puts me into a state where I think only about my form and my breathing. So, swimming for me is a type of meditation.
It is a form of meditation for me! I love it. Very relaxing and I am doing something good for my body
It's so great for the body and mind!
63 here, ex-distance freestyler. Wish I could swim every day, but not possible. 3 times a week mostly. I love swimming cause it allows me to be pro-active with your fantastic website. :D. Thanks for all you do.
I swim 5 times a week. I wish I could swim every single day! Swimming makes my headache go away!
Keep up the great work!
I swim everyday for weight loss and for mental health reasons x I feel ive accomplished something and I have met so many lovely people young and old. Its like a community of lovely friendships 💕 plus I love this channel its helped me with my techniques x Thank you 😊 I've lost 28lbs in two months x
EDIT 31 lbs :-D
Bet you reached your goal by now
YES! I love swimming! 😊
I'm 50 and just started swimming consistently. I do it because of the fitness aspect, feeling great after my swim, much better on the joints, rather than running, and keeping myself fit.
It's amazing! Happy swimming :)
I am 72 and swim three times a week. (I also do Peloton classes daily). I like swimming because I don't have to be worried about injury or hurting my knees (which are kind of used up after years of running). Swimming calms me down, even while it is making me breathe hard and work hard. Being in the water is like a vacation from everything. The presenter is right -- you never regret getting to the pool and swimming.
Thanks for sharing, Deborah! Glad you're enjoying the water. Happy swimming :)
Thanks for the reminder! I actually haven’t gotten in a pool in decades. I’ve been more of a kickboxing, Zumba, weightlifting, hiking, walking person. After suffering a concussion nearly five years ago, my symptoms are so severe, that I’ve literally laid around all day. I have moments when I can walk, or do Xi Gong, but without consistency. While my symptoms have improved, I’m now finding that nearly every attempt to be minimally active, causes some type of injury. It makes complete sense, because of having so completely inactive for so long. I’m so grateful for the reminder to take to the water! My community has a new recreation center, with a pool, nearby. I’m going to try swimming, because it will have the least impact, and I’m more likely to avoid injury.
To the benefit of the pool being Zen, and a place that greatly reduces sensory input, it makes me think about us all having initially developed in a private pool. 😉 I’m sure the sensation of being in a womb, has some healing value to us!
Thanks again for this video, because I forgot about swimming, when I saw similar videos a month ago. 🤕
I have been swimming for decades, and I love it because it is therapeutic and keeps me sane . I love the sun 🌞!
Sounds amazing! Happy swimming!
I love the feel of weightlessness and the meditative effect
its smooth & easy & very relaxing! even taking it at your own pace is working in a healthy way
So true! Happy swimming!
I have a strong connection to the ocean and swimming is my way to relax while exercising. It's my personal time of the day; when I swim I don't think of anything else except my breathing and technique. It's safe to say it's a form of meditation for me.
You are 100% correct! I’m 82 and have been swimming all my life. Thanks for the great Video 😊❤
You are so welcome! Happy swimming, Jack :)

I love to swim since very little. Now 64 and swimming 3 x week. Would love to fit in more sessions but no lane swimming available at weekends 🙄 Thanks for your very informative videos. They've certainly helped with breathing technique and stroke technique.
The contact with the water, the workout feeling feels better than any other workout and that lovely clean feeling after being immersed for so long. Hard to beat. Hehe.
A childhood drowning accident made me fear of water and not able to float. I always made effort to conquer it by not say no to water sport except when swim skill was essential. I also never had access to a pool (hate gym’s indoor pool). I just moved into a retirement community that has a good pool that only about 10 people use semi regularly. First time in my life i am able to use the pool 3/4 times a week. It was wonderful to be in the water, so calm and relaxing. I am using tools to learn how to free style. It doesn’t feel like a workout. I often use the post drill float to pray and thank God for giving me this opportunity to be comfortable in the water.
I just got back to the pool after decades inactive. I just love the feel of being in the water and I am trying to get more serious about health.😀
This Wednesday was our Sprint day. When you have a swim everyday commitment you can see just how compromised [due to how well you attacked a given previous workout] you are currently. I love that on days that require more recovery you can dial back to 85 or 65 percent [wherever you stand that day] and still have a productive session.
All good points. I've had to give up most of my sports since the onset of RA. I only have swimming and kayaking now. I always feel better after swimming. Just wish the chlorine wasn't so strong.
I’ve swam for fun for years. I’ve started using swimming as part of my weight loss journey in May. During the gym shut down, I started running long distance. After 3 months of doing distance running, my joints started popping. They weren’t painful pops, but I started having pains I’ve never had and didn’t like the long term impact that I think it would have. So as soon as the pool re-opened, I replaced my long distance/HIIT running with swimming. I love it and will NEVER go back to running. No body pains, great calorie burn, and it partners well with my weight training routine.
Swimming is the only exercise where I feel capable in my body. I can move, I feel agile, and beautiful in the water. I think it's helping me heal my love/hate relationship with my body.
Excellent content!
Swimming 1.5km and then the next day another 1.5km, I found that my muscles are cramped, and takes more time to recover. I think that swimming every other day is optimal for better recovery and pushing myself to be at my best, beating records every time.
That's what I do. Every other day.
Also feel very peaceful during and after swim
Us too!
I had a knee pain 2 months ago then i did not meet my family dr, right away I go swim every day after that my knee pain released, wow what a Miracle, so I am very happy to see the new world.
After 2 x burn-out i decided that it was time to start with cold water swimming and since i am started 3 weeks ago, everyday i get up and start swimming and i feel hunderd times better than before. Especially in cold water there is magic happening with your body. I really love it and makes me feel good.
Love the way I feel, & staying in shape I'm 69. Try & swim 3 days a week will start swimming outdoors this summer.
the best sport. being in water is refreshing and makes one happy.
It’s my morning stretch and makes me feel so good after every single swim!
That's awesome, Nick! Happy swimming!
I swim every day and it makes me feel alive and fine within myself
Most amazing part is that makes me feel great mentally. And i am having fun swimming.Streching my body is also great. Knowing that every other day i am becoming stronger also feels great .
Ever since as a child, the water and swimming makes me happy. It is an activity that allows to focus both your own world and at the same time other swimmers' via strokes and breaths. When your body enters the water it creates ripples and connects the -water- world like a butterfly that matters for change and recreation. I love the idea to be part of a big flow as much as possible.
Swimming is an excellent sport. I swim twice a week but my goal is to increase this routine. When I swim I can forget the world and overcome my limits.
Fares, great stuff as always. Swimming is a necessity but I am no fan of public pools. What are your thoughts on stationary pools?
Once you jump in you never wanna get out!!! Yes, I swim every single day, one hour. My pool is heated at 80 degree so I can swim anytime of the day, and I love the evening schedule for shade and no sun exposure, but some time I do the 2pm time. I am 70, no arthritis pain, no back pain ,sleep like a baby 8-9 hours straight every night and don't know what means insomnia. Swimming is a good remedy for those seniors and people overall who struggle with sleeping due to stress or aging. Nothing can slow me down, after swimming schedule is the one hour walking daily. The half day hiking on weekends is a piece of cake. The problem is I cannot find a workout partner to go along with my activities. I wonder why people prefer the couch and the big screen instead.
U really take the efforts so I subscribed
Swimming is my favorite sport. I love everything about it, I feel so zen and healthy after a good session. 🎉
I love swimming because it makes me years younger than the calendar says, and swim training daily at a competitive level has saved my life. No other sport gives this much all body, strength, and aerobic capability to one's body, at any age.
Loving the Holes reference! Shia Labeouf eat your heart out
Tranquility and fitness
I love swimming because of all the people I’m with. When I go swimming, I’m thinking I can’t wait to have fun with my team. It’s also a great workout and is just so much fun.
Hi Fares, this video‘s email notification arrived with the following wording: „...But did you know that it's actually better to swim a short workout 7 days per week, than it is to swim 2 or 3 longer sessions per week?“ , however, I did not see that this fact has been explained comparatively as to why it‘s better to swim shorter but more frequently in comparison to swimming longer laps 2/3 days a week. You clearly explained why swimming every day is good but did not do the comparison. Possible that I missed it and if I did miss it, please let me let me know where to find the answer to that question. Thank you for inspiring us all ! 🏊🏻♀️🏊🏻♀️🏊🏻♀️🏊🏻♀️🏊🏻♀️🏊🏻♀️🏊🏻♀️
Great question! The frequency of swimming really depends on your goals. This video talks more about the general health benefits of swimming every day. If you're looking for elite performance, then there's no question swimming 6-7 days per week is optimal because you're trying to develop your feel of the water to your body's maximum ability. For 'most people', they're not looking for elite performance so much as routine, physical and mental health. Swimming everyday can be great for this. If you're limited on time, then absolutely swimming 3x/week can still yield great performance and health benefits. It's a balance. If you swim 'longer' you're more likely going to swim at a slower average pace. Swimming shorter workouts more frequency allows you to maintain a higher pace...if that's what you're looking to do.
Fares Ksebati Thanks so much for sparing your time,Fares! Appreciate it. I do 5X1,750m. (freestyle) and I feel just fine (let the muscles recover during the weekend) Sometimes I wonder if I shall split the total distance on 7 days of the week but then whenever I do less than 1,750m a day I feel I‘m not done. Anyway, my Y cancelled all classes this week and it‘s a matter of time they close the pool so my concerns today might be irrelevant soon... Stay safe.
The feel of floating..it feels like flying of a different sort..can move in every direction possible..better understanding about self.. confidence booster..NO SWEAT exercise 😁..feels to be in unison with nature..and plenty more
Beautifully summarised the Best benefits of swimming Daily.Its an easiest way to stay Healthy and Happy ...
Glad you enjoyed it!
I swim 3-4 mornings a week and have gone from a uk16 to a 8!
Amazing! Happy swimming :)
Thank you for your awesome video brother, appreciate your motivating video
Thanks for watching! Happy swimming!
I returned to swimming post covid with a passion. I did not know how much I love it. Your videos have helped this 54 year old lap swimmer improve my freestyle form. Thank you for sharing the insights into the joy of swimming.
Glad to help! Keep it up and happy swimming!
I love to swim and swim 5 times a week. There is something relaxing and meditative about it, and I enjoy the feeling of getting better.
I have started to learn how to swim and I LOVE it. It makes my body feel WONDERFUL. I am looking forward to get better and better.
That's amazing, Yvonne! Keep it up and happy swimming :)
I used to swim a ton as a teen and younger, but as an adult I've gotten depressingly obese. I just went snorkling in hawaii and realized I'm still pretty okay at swimming and will be joining the gym on Monday. It's the 1st thing since getting fat i feel like i can do and will be easy to stick with.
Way to take the first step. That's incredibly brave. Swimming is a great activity for people of all sizes and ages - keep it up!
The feeling of the water is so relaxing and it feels so good for my muscles🏊🏼♂️🏊🏼♂️
Couldn't agree more, Katy! Happy swimming :)
I swim 1500 meters 5 days a week it takes me 44 to 45 minutes, I am 75 and have been doing this for over a year which is the longest that I have ever stayed with an exercise routine. I was worried that I would be overdoing it if I swam 7 days a week so I am glad to have found this video. I swim at the gym so the water is between 80 and 85 degrees.
About making me more happy it’s true. Nice video, thanks you Coach 💪💪
Glad to hear it! Happy swimming :)
Makes me feel relaxed after. & anxiety goes away. Helps my appetite. Feeling accomplished after a swim. Like to meet swimmers.
