Swimming Index

Featured: Swimming Main Article
Swimming is a low-impact form of exercise that's easy on the joints, builds cardiorespiratory fitness and muscle mass, and is an excellent way to maintain fitness during rehabilitation for an injury. The breaststroke, backstroke, butterfly, and freestyle (crawl) are the most popular swim strokes. Swimming is not recommended for children under 4 years of age.
