Great health and lots of fun really partner up when it comes to swimming! In fact, an hour of swimming burns almost as many calories as running, without all the impact on your bones and joints. Swimming is an excellent way to work your entire body and cardiovascular system. No wonder it’s the fourth most popular activity in the USA. That’s according to the CDC who explain that “…(swimming) can also lead to improved health for people with diabetes and heart disease. Swimmers have about half the risk of death compared with inactive people. People report enjoying water-based exercise more than exercising on land. They can also exercise longer in water than on land without increased effort or joint or muscle pain.”

When it comes to fun however, the ultimate authority – our kids – know that when water safety rules are in place, swimming and water leisure are the prime ingredients for the most memorable summer times!
