Swimming is great. I swim pretty much every day in the summer and I'll just walk around in a swimsuit all day sometimes and the next day....get a another swimsuit. I have an absurdly large amount of swimsuits. It's embarrassing how much I love anything about water.

Living in a landlocked state the only natural bodies of water are usually murky lakes surrounded by rednecks playing loud music. I like a nice pool myself but public pools aren't any fun. Besides that, the ocean is lovely. Love me that sand and sun.

Growing up my sisters and I were pretty hip because we had a pool and deck and we'd have friends hang out until like 2 am whilst listening to music. It's commonly over 100 Fahrenheit not accounting for humidity or heat index in the summer so it's borderline required to swim at least a bit if you want to go outside for more than a couple of hours.
