Swimming is a sport that looks deceptively easy; it employs hitherto lazy muscles to labour and the water tricks the joints into acrobatics that is impossible other wise. I find moving underwater the most fun and I stay under as long as possible but I come up for air because I don't belong there. I am a creature whose primary domain is laid. I walk and swimming is but a break form walking.

Swimming is a sport, an escape and even with all the sore muscles and joints, its a break from the norm.

I however love the weightlessness of being under water or floating; just drifting without a care in the world. I find I can achieve the same feeling in the bath; I hold my breathe and stay under water for as long as my lungs will allow but I inevitably have to come up for air; back to the realities of my thoughts and life.
