Why I'm Making This Podcast

Good morning, I’m writing today to start a new blog about swimming and the lifestyle that follows my favorite hobby. For five years I have been swimming regularly for the Marlins Masters team. I have practiced on a daily basis, with the goal of being a fast swimmer at swim meets. I have always been passionate about this sport not only because of the desire to be fast but also the will to gain endurance from it. Since 2005 I have achieved several accolades, finished races at #1, ranked nationally, and most recently qualifying for nationals in Puerto rico. Wanting to Swim fast, and be first in races has been a focal point that has brought me positive effects. Swimming on a consistant basis, added with healthy diet to keep my weight low, added with proper stretching, and also dryland fitness training have been building blocks that led to a result of a healthy lifestyle. While many people today turn to fitness devices and trendy diets, I’ve realized that making simple life-choices and having a passion for something that keeps you moving will pay dividends. Coming to this realization has given me the idea of starting my own podcast to share my lifestyle with others. As of right now, I’ve been out of the pool for a while due to a shoulder injury. Until it gets better, I will be doing shoulder stabilzation exercises, dryland aerobic training, and only kicking within the pool. I will be working my way to not only becoming the leader in my age group for go the distance, and to be back in the fall swimming in the Indianapolis meet. I will continue to swim the best I can, working to achieve being top recognition. On a daily basis, I will create a podcast to log my swimming time, my training on land, and the food decisions I’ve made. While it may seem that the podcast is swim-centric, the whole podcast can be applied to other sports. The overall message is if you find a sport or fitness hobby you truly enjoy, you do the best you can, and you change your lifestyle, the benefits will come. My podcast will be available through different platforms, and will be easy to access through the internet and through your phone. I will be giving tips on swimming, interviewing experts, and demonstrating ways to stretch. I hope by creating this podcast I can share my success of keeping fit and healthy with other people. I also hope that I can introduce people to the sport of swimming.
