How Swimming Changed Our Life: Real Stories From Real People
"I'm 62 years old and started lap swimming in a size 16 swimsuit about 4 years ago. My knees were shot my cholesterol terrible, had neck issues and after two laps I was exhausted, but kept plugging along. Kiefer was my go to for goggles,caps, swim coat and snorkel. I just got a dolphin fin...Without really trying I now wear a size 8 swimsuit and can swim an hour nonstop. I never liked gym, walks, or other exercise. When my Daughter invited me to swim with her I knew I found an activity I could do. Swimmers come in all ages, shapes, sizes and with all kinds of health issues, but in the water we are all the same....there are lane hogs when the pool is crowded, believe it or not our pool has Pool Manners....but still on occasion a light bump is called for. Bad mood? In the pool your in your own world. My fav purchase from Kiefer, my Finis Neptune Underwater MP3 player, with all my favorite swim songs. Too many getting up at 4:30 AM to swim at 5 can sound awful but I'm home at 6:30 ready to take on the day. Missing a day at the Pool.....not an option, I finally found something I could do for my self care, not interfere with my Family and added years to my life....give it a try." - Barbara M.
