I do not think this statement is true. I do not agree that a lot of people at parties are in good shape, or are very health conscious. In fact, I strongly believe the opposite is true. I see fat fucks, or anorexic sticks coughing their lungs out on cigs, wearing their stringy muscles thin "dancing" every weekend, and essentially slowly killing themselves.
my 0.02... cut down on cigarettes, empty calories, and processed foods... try to eat a lot of fresh fruit, your body will like it.
Swimming or any kind of water sport involving lots of swimming is very good for you... it provides a hellishly intense cardio workout without putting the strain on your knees like running does. It also builds up real endurance and strength muscles in your upper body, not just the protein powder/creatine bulk you see on a lot of gym-goers. Plus, it builds up your lung capacity. Swimming is also a great practical skill, you'll have a better chance of not drowning in fucked up situations in the open water.
As far as shaping the body goes, I don't think I need to say too much on the behalf of swimming.
I've been swimming competitively since I was about five years old as per the doctor's order, since I had a heart condition and swimming was the best way to help alleviate it over a long time. I joined Novaquatics when I was nine, and I swam with them along with my varsity high school team until college started.
yes, I have been wearing speedos for a very long time...
