Wondering which sporting activity to take up for the summer? Head to the local pool! According to a new survey, swimmers make the best lovers and they are also the happiest personality types.
A new study by the British Heart Foundation, conducted by Mindlab, surveyed 2000 people and looked at the sport we chose and what it revealed about our personalities – including how charitable we are and who we are likely to vote for in the General Election. So next time sport features in someone’s dating profile, it might be wise to pay close attention!
