Facts you need to know about swimming

Here's my thoughts about swimming.

Swimming is a healthy activity that can be enjoyed by people of any age and ability. It offers a variety of health benefits and you can swim on your own or as part of a group workout.
Group workouts, whether water aerobics or a swim fit session are good fun and very sociable. Exchanging stories, motivating each other and sharing in the hard work make swimming with others a rewarding experience.

What swimming does for you.

  • tones almost every major muscle in your body and many minor ones as well
  • burns calories
  • regulates breathing
  • stimulates circulation
  • soothes the mind
  • improves stamina
  • improves cardiovascular (heart and lungs) fitness
  • offers a non-impact environment, unlike running or weight training
  • provides social interaction, either through clubs or meeting friends for a drink in the Garden Cafe.
