Swimming is also calming and meditative, as the sound of your breathing and the water rushing by helps you focus inward and drown out all other distractions. Plus I love the feel of the water and the feeling of accomplishment that doing it every day gives me. I would utilize swimming in 1 of 2 ways.

This lowers stress and depression naturally. Doing moderate intensity for longer periods of time will increase your appetite severely, and ultimately your BF.
My lung doctor is just shocked at how much better I can breathe. As a power lifter I swim twice a week.
This is different for everyone both physically and for other reasons. I have COPD and swimming has helped tremendously. And I was able to discontinue one expensive inhaler ($100 out of my pocket every month).

Either a very LISS type swim after a resistance training workout (or off day), or a very difficult HIIT type swim. But I'll be 100% honest; I've always loved swimming.
Research also shows that swimming can reverse damage to the brain from stress through a process called hippocampal neurogenesis.
I am like a little kid when it comes to swimming (28 years old) so its fun for me. To meet fun with cardio is a great combination. I discovered that swimming is the thing I enjoy the most, so I want to swim everyday, but I wonder if it's a good idea.
I love it.
I'm a beginner, but I already know the basics (I learned as a kid, decades ago, I swam from 3 to 12 years old). For example, if going every other day leads to only going one a week and then not at all, you should probably go every day and just have hard days and recovery "easy" days.
