Something You Do to Relax

Tell me about something you do to relax. You should say: what is it you do how often you do it whether you do this activity alone or with other people and say why this relaxes you．

．Swimming：especially in the summer＋indoors in winter time=pleasant+ relaxing
．Summers are extremely hot and humid: stressful. Swimming is a great answer to this problem.
．Great exercise: good for my whole body
．No stress=I can forget about my problems at work. Water＝peaceful
．I can go on a day-trip outside Fuzhou: many stunning rivers, calm and beautiful.
My favorite hobby is swimming, and I try to swim as often as possible．Obviously, it is always more pleasant to get wet in the summer, and there are also some nice indoor swimming pools in my city, so it is possible to practice this sport all year round.
The weather in Fuzhou can get extremely hot in the summer. If you go out, you will sweat a lot, which is really not a good feeling. I believe that this extreme weather could be a cause of stress．Swimming can be refreshing when you feel worn out（＝tired).
Swimming is an excellent form of exercise, and I believe it is good for every single muscle group．You can develop your shoulders and arm muscles when you do the breast stroke; when you kick with your feet, you give your legs a workout. And naturally, it is very beneficial for your heart, as you have to breathe in and out and maintain a constant effort to stay afloat.
I love to get into the water. It is so relaxing. It's a good way for me to forget about my daily worries, which are usually related to work (or studies). It definitely reduces the harmful effects of stress．I like to lie on my back and float. I put my ears in the water, and everything becomes silent. It is so peaceful, so enjoyable.
I am lucky because Fuzhou is surrounded by mountains and forests, and there are some stunning rivers which are perfect for going for a swim. During the summer holiday, I can go with my friends to a place called Yongtai. It's about 45 minutes away from Fuzhou. There are many waterfalls, and the water is crystal clear. It's like paradise！
