Once you're in the water noone can see Wink

i am horribly overweight after a heavy dose of steroids and swimming is my happy place at the moment. I would love to run as well but the steroids wrecked my back, it's getting better as I taper off them though and I figure the swimming will help a lot too

Me to! Enjoying it currently during my first trimester- so good for physical and mental health. No one cares what you look like

I love it, had to do a bit of experimenting to find the right day/time to go so that the lanes aren't too full, or certain annoying swimmers aren't there (looking at you splashy overly aggressive hairy man who things he's an Olympian).

I put in my headphones, turn up the music and just swim my slowish breaststroke until my time is up, in my own little up, down, up, down, up, down world.
