I have loved swimming for almost two decades. In the beginning I would splash about, arms and legs everywhere! For me there was a pleasure in the movement and the way it felt to float in the water.<\/p>\n
Over time I learned the techniques and my training developed from simple joy to a more structured and dedicated approach.<\/p>\n
Recently a friend of mine decided to learn to swim, and it has been wonderful to see her go through the same stages I did twenty years ago.<\/p>\n
With this blog we’ll explore different aspects of swimming, different training styles and different techniques for achieving the results you want. But lets start at the beginning:<\/p>\n
So you want a better body? You want to get fit and lose weight?<\/p>\n
Swimming holds the key. Unlike running which cause stress on your knees and hips; when you swim the water supports your weight providing gentle but constant resistance. Having a higher body fat percentage actually increases your buoyancy, making it easier to stay afloat before your body adapts and tones with the exercise.<\/p>\n
If you don’t know how to swim, or it has been a long time since you were in the water, it’s best to get an instructor. Check out your local swimming pool for lessons. There you’ll get a chance to meet other people and get a helping hand in the beginning.<\/p>\n
