We have already explained many advantages of swimming and those are only ten reasons why you should practise this sport.  You have the choise but I assure you that if you train this sport with all your heart you will fall in love with it. I am a "profesional swimmer" an it's not an easy sport but the feeling you have when you compete is incredible, it has no comparison, all the adreline you feel and the desire to win the race are a mix that make it so special. It is also a very sacrificed sport but it's very worth it.  My principal recommendation is to try and practise like an amateur first this incredible and lovely sport and also to be patient because you won't improve from one day to another.  I hope you like it and good bye.

 It is possible to practice swimming in any season of the year since in Canary Islands there will always be a pleasant temperature to swim, but equally you must have precaution since in the winter evenings the temperature usually lowers very much, and also you must pay attention to it is very windy.

 Swimming is a sport that can be practised on a swimmingpool or also at the sea, depending wich are your preferencies. If you swim as an amateur, you can choose wherever you want depending what do you like the most but if you compite or swim in a more profesional way, you have to choose the place where you compite.  The advantage of the Canary Islands as we have said before, is that we are surounded by water, so we have coasts everywhere. The Canary has also many swimmingpools, this provides the posibility to the archipielago of a big diversity of places where we can practice this incredible sport.
