Swimming is a lot of fun and can be a great way to socialize. The pool is a place to feel like a kid again and get a great workout. Parents can introduce swimming to their children as a way to have fun, improve physical fitness and reduce childhood obesity. For an adult, open swim time can be a way for you to re-energize for the coming week. Instead of feeling out of breath or exhausted, you may feel surprisingly calm.

How do I get started?
- First, if you have asthma or any existing injury, consult your doctor to determine if you should swim and at what pace.
- Start slowly. Beginner swimmers start with 12-20 minutes of swimming. Once your breathing and strokes become more efficient, you will able to swim for a longer period of time.
- To get the most out of your pool workout, use the freestyle stroke, where your arms are moving in a windmill motion while your body is pivoting and you’re breathing on the side of the arm that’s out of the water.
- Keep your swimming routine fresh by mixing up the freestyle stroke with other strokes to get a more effective workout every time.
- Try water walking or running in water.
- Tread water to help tone your legs and arms and to get a good cardiovascular workout.
- Use the walls of the pool for your stretches and motorized kicking for an agressive workout.
- Use a kickboard when swimming to work on your legs and streghten your arms and back.
- Participate in the water aerobic classes to get a good workout and meet other members.
