Just Swim

Swimming improves your figure
 

Regular swimming improves endurance, muscular strength, posture, flexibility and the fitness of your heart and lungs. It is also a great activity for weight loss, as swimming at a medium intensity will have you training in your fat-burning zone using up to 200 calories within 30 minutes. When using the correct technique, swimming uses all of the key muscle groups giving you an all-over body workout.
 

Front crawl and backstroke give particular emphasis to toning shoulders, arms and stomach, whilst breaststroke gives your thighs, stomach and buttocks a good workout.
 

Swimming makes you feel good
 

For many, swimming is an activity that helps them unwind, de-stress and relax. The rhythm of your stroke, the floating sensation and the weightlessness of the water can be very meditative and relaxing. Having a gentle swim after another form of exercise is a perfect way to finish your exercise routine.
 

Water gives you support

The support of the water greatly reduces stress on joints such as knees and ankles. This makes swimming and aqua aerobics ideal activities for people recovering from an injury, people with conditions such as back pain or arthritis, older people, those carrying excess weight and pregnant women.
