- Title: English Listening - Swimming
- Summary:
Swimming has many benefits in terms of exercise, in terms of fun and in terms of
safety. It is a fantastic cardio exercise that is great for heart, and also easy on our
joints. Specifically, on our knees, swimming is very good because it doesn't put that same
pressure on knees. And it also works our muscles as well. We have to learn how to
breathe well and also how to hold your breath underwater.Besides, swimming is very
fun. Many kids love the water. And even as adults, swimming is really fun as well. It's
something that's relaxing and entertaining. It's nice to just chill in the pool sometimes.
How about in terms of safety? Well, it's great for kids to learn how to swim at a young
age because it will help prevent accidents later on. So, a lot of people in the US put their
kids in swimming classes at a very young age so that they can get used to the water and
learn how to float, learn how to swim, all of that. They want to make sure that their kids
aren't going to drown in any situation. And this issue of safety also relates to adults as
well. It’s very good to learn how to swim so that we can stay safe around water. The
author of this podcast had a little bit experience and relationship with swimming.
