Swimming is Never a Waste of Time

I won’t say this article’s title is classic “click bait” but it’s certainly misleading. I’m not even sure what a “doggy paddle hybrid” actually is. The article seems to focused on school kids even though the image shown at the top is clearly an open-water–probably a triathlon–swim. Yeah, a waste of time.

It’s clear that weight loss is probably not very high on anybody’s list of reasons for swimming but to say it’s a “waste of time” is simply wrong.
