Everyone can benefit from swimming. There are so many health benefits, no matter what your age or physical fitness. Plus, since most cities have swimming pools that are relatively cheap in the States, you won’t break the bank or drive yourself crazy trying to get your workout in. Also, no one needs to be intimidated before they start swimming; it is such an easy exercise. You don’t have to be in good shape to start with. And you won’t have to over-exert yourself either; you can just take it in your stride and go at your own pace. Plus, especially on a hot day, you will come out of the pool feeling so refreshed. You can spend an hour in the pool and not even be exhausted afterwards, even if you’re not in great shape. So try it out and start improving your fitness level one stroke at a time.
