Swimming

How to do it

1. Warm up with a few easy lengths before picking up the pace.
2. Keep your body long and flat near the surface, with your head in line with your spine.
3. Breathe out steadily into the water and take quick breaths when your mouth clears the surface.
4. Swim at a pace where your technique stays smooth, and rest at the wall whenever it starts to fall apart.

Start easy and build up gradually. Stop if you feel pain, dizziness or pressure in your chest.
