Frequent aerobic exercise can lead to many health benefits such as increased stamina, decreased stress, and an overall boost to your vitality. However, many types of physical activity can strain or otherwise harm your body. Swimming provides a great option for regular exercise, as being in the water means that your joints do not bear the burden of your weight! This reduces the likelihood of any accidental strains.

There are also many different types of activities you can do while swimming. From intensive sports like Water Polo to restful types of exercise like Water Zumba and even Scuba diving, swimming offers you a pathway to participate in many fun kinds of aquatic activities!
