Swimming questions

Why do you think swimming is such a good workout?

There are many positives to swimming as a work out but one of the main advantages is the fact that it takes place in water.

This sounds obvious but the reason an aquatic environment is so good for exercise is that it is low impact – that is, it’s easier on the joints and spine than impact sports such as running.

This reduces the risk of injury, especially if the correct swim technique is used. It’s also a great way for people who are overweight to get into exercise as it provides some resistance without being too hard on the body.

Let’s have a look at some interesting facts about swimming for women.
