u/yes_i_am_the_funny

I always took swimming lessons when I was younger, I know how to swim, and a few strokes, I'm comfortable in the water.

However, I want to start exercising more, and swimming is one of the things I enjoy most when it comes to sport for fitness.

So here I am, as a beginner, asking if theres anything I should know, any golden rules, specific reccomended gear, mindsets, research, specific strokes, anything that is important to start swimming for fitness.

Thanks!
