Swimming uses almost all the major muscle groups, and places a vigorous demand on your heart and lungs.

Swimming develops muscle strength and endurance, and improves posture and flexibility.

Swimming is especially useful for people who are overweight, pregnant, or with leg or lower back problems.

Swimming is a great sport for people of all ages and all proficiency levels.

Swimming provides most of the aerobic benefits that running does, with many of the benefits of resistance training thrown in.

Swimming does not put the strain on connective tissues that running, aerobics and some weight-training regimens do.
