Going for a dip in the swimming pool doesn’t have to be as gruelling as training for an Olympic medal or cross-channel swim.
We can all set ourselves swimming targets to get us toned and fit as we inch towards summer.
Swimming is a brilliant all-round exercise. It benefits the body and the mind and what’s more it’s fun!
It’s good for your health, good for fitness and can help you lose weight. Whatever your age or ability swimming is an option. If you are nervous in the water it’s never too late to have lessons. Most pools and leisure centres have a range of classes for different ages and abilities.
