SWIMMING


Swimming works your whole body, improving cardiovascular conditioning, muscle strength, endurance, posture, and flexibility all at the same time. Your cardiovascular system in particular benefits because swimming improves your body’s use of oxygen without overworking your heart. 

As you become more fit and are able to swim longer, your resting heart rate and respiratory rate will be reduced, making blood flow to the heart and lungs more efficient. If you’re looking to lose weight, swimming is just the ticket. On average, a swimmer can burn as many calories in an hour as a runner who runs six miles in one hour. Some call swimming the perfect form of exercise. 

Come to the pool and enjoy a great workout on your own.  We provide water weights, resistance gloves, and noodles to bump up your workout. Splish Splash today!
