Can’t read the article, but I did want to share that the title resonates with me.
I love running and now run again, but I started learning swimming during a knee injury.
One thing it re-taught me was how rewarding it is to learn or improve a non-work related skill dramatically. I picked up juggling (poorly) and jump rope since.
Two, I knew I was getting a stroke down when I knew when to glide versus to move or exert myself. Maybe a metaphor but practically it makes 40 laps enjoyable instead of torture.
Three, having one hour of somewhat sensory deprived solitude is great therapy.

The Down Syndrome girl and others in her special needs group that were in the pool when I went were incredible inspiration. If she could smile and put in the lengths then I could too.
