I'm not a self-help book kind of girl...

BBC Radio 2 presenter Jo Whiley swears by swimming to help balance her mental health, saying it "feels like a baptism sometimes".

I'm not a self-help book kind of girl...

The presenter, whose radio career spans more than 30 years, says: "If I'm feeling not in the best mood, if I'm anxious about something or if I just want to feel happier, then I'll head to my swimming pool and do 40 lengths.

"When I come out everything will have changed. My headspace will be completely different." Jo, who turns 60 this July, says the sport helps as she gets older, too.
