Why Swim????
 
Maybe you're not quite sure whether to join swimming club or not, well here's a few good reasons why swimming is good for you..........

1 - Tone those muscles!
Swimming is one of the few sports that uses and tones all the important muscle groups. Swimmers tend to look more youthful and toned as they get older too!

2 - Low injury risk
All the muscles are exercised without causing any strain, contact sports such as rugby, football and hockey have injury rates 50-100 times higher!

3- Flexibility
Swimming is one of the few sports that promotes flexibility in all the joints, which may come in handy one day!

4 - Improve your health
Evidence suggests swimming improves your CV system, making heart and lung problems less likely to occur when you get old and grey!

5 - Aphrodisiac???
Swimming has been found to increase the sex drive of both men and women, and you're going to be far more attractive to others if you're nicely toned from swimming rather than nicely rounded from sitting in the pub!

6 - Relive your childhood
Once you get bored of swimming properly you can always practice bombs and backflips, just don't let the lifeguard catch you!
