Health Benefits of Swimming as an Exercise

It's obvious that a pool is a great place to relax or beat the heat, but pools can also provide great exercise through swimming.

Aerobic

* Swimming uses almost all of the major muscle groups, but does not put strain on the connective tissues like running, aerobics, and other weight-training exercises can.

Low Impact

* Because it is such a low impact way to exercise, swimming is great for everyone from children to the elderly. Pregnant women and those with disabilites especially benefit from swimming because of the low impact nature.

Endurance

* Swimming develops muscle strength and endurance and also improves posture and flexibility.

Circulation

* Heart and lung strength are also greatly increased through swimming and it is known to lower blood pressure as well.

Be sure to consult a physician before beginning any exercise regimen.
