Of all forms of physical and mental exercise, swimming has become the favorite for me. Perhaps age makes a difference in my ability to maintain the need for exercise. For example, running, hiking and rowing have all but diminished except for another option of bicycling. Will I swim until the end of my life? It is a good plan though I find it to be a most inconvenient form of exercise. Regardless of that opinion, it is best for my mind and body at this point. I will be adding images done at and under the surface of this alternate form of hydro-therapy. Due to my love for photography and the desire to expand that practice, I include the following visual essay of willing subjects in the water.
