I Swam For 30 Minutes Everyday for 30 Days. This is what happened...

After 9 years away from proper swim training, Mark is taking on a challenge to see if he can regain his strength, technique, and feel for the water by swimming just 30 minutes a day for 30 days. Tracking his 400m times, body composition, and even testing the efficacy of his goggles' anti-fog technology, find out whether 30 minutes a day is enough to see improvements and rediscover a love for swimming after significant time away from the sport.
