Swimming benefits.Swimming is good
exercise
(that's obvious). Swimming is a lifetime sport that benefits the body
and the whole person! But what is it that makes swimming good,
specifically? That depends on what you are trying to accomplish.
Swimming is a healthy activity that can be continued for a lifetime,
and the health benefits swimming offers for a lifetime are worth the
effort it takes to get to the swimming pool. It works practically all of
the muscles in the body (if you do a variety of strokes). Swimming can
develop a swimmer's general strength, cardiovascular fitness and
endurance. It does not help with bone density - you need to weight bearing exercise for that - but that is about all that is missing from what swimming could do for your fitness.
