10 reaso to make a splash this
You’ve no doubt heard that swimming is good exercise, but do you know just how good it is for you? Swimming isn’t just a fun activity but it’s also great for your health, and while you’re splashing about, you’re actually doing wonders for your body. Take a look at some of the reasons why swimming is the perfect way to get active:
1
The buoyancy of the water counteracts the force of gravity, making swimming
a perfect low-impact sport that puts little stress on bones and joints.
2
If you swim for at least 20 minutes straight, keeping up a constant rhythm and speed, it is anaerobic exercise, which helps improve general fitness, stimulates the metabolism and burns fat.

The fact that it’s an aerobic exercise also means it improves cardiopulmonary
capacity, while the effort needed to overcome water resistance tones muscles.

Our body’s natural position is upright, but when we swim, we turn it horizontal;
this helps move respiratory secretions, and improves breathing.
