Why swim?
Swimming laps is a great way to get your body moving and your heart pumping. It’s low-impact, uses your whole body, and is a whole lot more relaxing than sweating away in a spin class for an hour.
Still not convinced that it’s worth getting into your swimmers? Well, here’s the kicker. Swimming is also amazing for your mind. Whether you’re managing a mental health problem or just looking for a little relaxation, hitting the water can really help.
