      I like swimming but I will admit I prefer land based activities. I am able to swim but I like going for a splash about more than anything. If I was given the choice between going for a run or going for a swim to strengthen my heart and lungs, I’d pick going for a run, mainly as I think I hold my breath for too long when I swim and so when I get to the end of the pool I need to take a huge breath and stop. If I fixed that problem I’d probably enjoy it a lot more!
