Why Swimming Does Not Suck

http://vimeo.com/59632496

This is not me advocating swimming, and I am not sure that they have really captured the absolute essence of swimming, but they are part way there.

The sensuous feel of water past the skin, smooth movement through the water once you have the skills to do it right, isolation from mobile phones, other influences, people external to the pool, and so on just add to the great feeling.

Think the fluid movement of a dolphin.

It is a great short video.

Seems very soul soothing. Reminds me of when I used to do a lot of running. It became rather meditative in the end.
