Swimming and no sharks!

TWO feet and TWO shoes! To celebrate, I bought some bright teal and fuschia Reeboks in order to stand out and yell to the world: ” Appreciate MOBILITY!”

I also decided to…..

SWIM!

And guess what? I’m so out of shape. I used to be able to swim a mile no problem, and after about 1/2 a mile, I was ready to wave the white flag. Maybe that would have buoyed me up!?

What I did find, is:
1. Swimming breaststroke and freestyle loosens the ankle if you don’t tense up.

2. Swimming calms you and gives your body a comfortable workout

3. Don’t use the ends to push off. Just stop and turn!

4. It reduced my swelling

I only did about 30 minutes, but I sure felt better.

Anyone else find swimming to help the healing?
