Inner harmony can be discovered doing any activity where you’re engaged body and soul. In Sandi’s case that means swimming. This month, she shares what it feels like to dive into the water and find her bliss.

How does swimming make you feel?
I feel really free. Swimming’s great because whether you’re working out in a pool or you’re swimming in open water, it’s incredibly refreshing. The best way I can describe the experience is that swimming makes you feel really awake, yet relaxed at the same time.

Does being a swimmer affect your mood and outlook when you’re out of the water, too?
When I go swimming, I emerge feeling happy and strong, both physically and mentally. Even if I'm in a time crunch, swimming is always a win-win. There’s something special about being in the water. It helps me escape and I forget the things that may be bothering me — that’s a big part of its appeal.
