Whether you want to maintain your swimming habit or you are just looking to start doing some laps, don’t let the upcoming autumn and winter months stop you. Just because the temperature drops, doesn’t mean your physical shape has to.
If you live in Barcelona, there is a rich offer of indoor swimming pools where you can go to give your body a fresh start in the morning or a relaxing workout after work. You might even stick to them when summer comes around again – after all, there’s way fewer people, which makes it easier to come in and out and just do your thing.
