Swimming has show events less than other sport
disciplines. Otherwise I would make my swimming rounds more often for sure.
But seriously: Of course I do make sport, I do jogging three to five times a
week or go riding mountainbike. After a career in top
sport this is a necessity as everybody knows. It is a good compensation for
stress in the profession as a medical doctor and thus
gives good support to it.
Apart from that it means living a good example for the patients.
