Swimming

No matter what age or fitness level you are, being able to swim is a healthy activity that provides a number of skills and benefits, including relaxation, sporting enjoyment, competition and discipline.

Regular swimming builds endurance, muscle strength and cardiovascular fitness.  It can also be a therapeutic and calming way to switch off and unwind.

As well as being great for general wellbeing, it can serve as a cross-training element to your regular workouts, as swimming with increasing effort to gradually increase your heart rate and stimulate your muscle activity is easily accomplished in the water.
