Endless Pools Are the Perfect Way to Get in Shape Regardless of Age
Health & Wellness
Age is nothing but a number, yet a lot of us will say, “Tell that to our bodies!” It is important to remember that the longer you remain active and in shape, the longer your body will, for lack of a better term, agree with you. So why should seniors incorporate swimming into their daily lives to stay in shape and improve their overall well being?

How Swimming Benefits Seniors
Swimming provides seniors with the following benefits: improved flexibility, cardiovascular conditioning, posture, physical appearance and balance; increased muscle strength; eased muscle tension; reduction of stress and osteoporosis risk; and weight and appetite control.
Some medical conditions that are more prominent in seniors are Type-2 Diabetes, cardiovascular disease, arthritis and different types of cancer. Swimming can help reverse the symptoms of some of these diseases or at least ease some of the symptoms. It can also play a role in the healing process after an injury or surgery, serving as a great physical therapy option.
Understanding that physical exercise is one of the most efficient ways to stay in good health, seniors can only benefit from all the good swimming can do. So don’t be afraid to jump in the pool or encourage someone you know to start enjoying the pool a little more.
