No Fool in a Pool

Swimming is a great way to exercise and keep fit. It is an activity that everyone, young and old can participate in and enjoy, plus it has certain advantages that should make even the laziest guy want to get off the couch.

For one, swimmers enjoy the buoyancy that water offer, thereby allowing one do exercises that would normally seem difficult to do on land. Plus you get to eliminate any fear of knee problems usually caused by incessantly pounding your feet on rock solid ground in the case of jogging.

Water also helps to disperse body heat during 'workouts' thereby cooling the body in the process. Swimming as a fitness activity, amongst other things, builds endurance and boosts stamina, tones muscles, improves circulation and strengthens the muscles of the heart.
