    Powerhouse goalkeeper Ashleigh Johnson is back in the United States with a new accessory โ€” an Olympic gold medal. Team USA women’s water polo team beat Spain 14-5 in the final weekend of theย Tokyo Games.ย 

    It is the second gold medal for Johnson, who blocked 11 of 15 shots in the championship match. For Johnson, the gold medal represents a journey that has been years in the making.

    “It is so interesting. Because everything fixates on the medal but the medal is just like a representation of this whole journey. It is so beautiful and it means so much to me. But it is, like all of the hard work of the past five years, of the previous four years, that goes into building that medal. And like a figurative sense. That really is what we’re going to hold on to. And this just represents all of that,” Johnson told “CBS This Morning.”

    Swimming is often touted as a great workout for all ages, offering benefits not only for the body but also for the mind. As a form of exercise, swimming keeps your heart rate up and builds muscle strength. It also can be a great form of stress relief.

    “Swimming is a wonderful sport. I definitely recommend swimming for people of all ages,” says Dr. Matthew Crowe, a Mayo Clinic orthopedic surgeon, and sports medicine expert who spent many hours in the pool as a competitive swimmer in his youth.

    “Swimming is easy on the joints, and it’s very good for both cardiac health and your core strength. And it also can give you really excellent strength around the shoulders, and hips and knees,” says Dr. Crowe.

    While the benefits of swimming and aquatic exercise far outweigh the risks, injuries can occur, especially with competitive swimmers who often train upward of 20 hours a week.

    Weโ€™ve all been there – youโ€™ve just carried your beach thing across the beach and found your spot only to realize that you need a wee and there isnโ€™t a toilet in sight. So is it okay to jump in the water full of swimmers and kids splashing around to go for a wee? Itโ€™s in billions of gallons of salty water, is it rude to fellow swimmers or detrimental to the environment?
