The pool I use has been closed since last spring. Last night it opened again. I swam my laps, not as many as I normally do, but it still felt good to get in the pool. Swimming is so good for your body.
According to the U.S. Water Fitness Association (USWFA), water exercise offers many physical, social and mental benefits:
Improved strength and flexibility
Better muscular endurance and balance (Many professional and amateur athletes cross-train in the water)
A stronger heart
Enhanced physique or figure
Improved circulation
Rehabilitation therapy for used or healing muscles and recovery from accidents and injuries (like my lower back injury)
Weight control
Relief from stress and tension
Increased energy
