Regardless of age or activity level, I believe everyone can benefit from engaging in aquatic activities. Swimming provides a full-body workout by improving cardiovascular fitness and lung function and is a low impact activity that is easy on the joints. And when the body feels better, so does the mind – swimming can be a moving meditation, with its focus on breathwork and repetitive movement. Having a community aquatic center allows for swimming to be enjoyed as a year-round activity, not just for a few precious weeks in the summertime!
