and fitness. Swimming is low impact, and as such is good for people with joint and stress (body not mental) issues. It works a higher percentage of the body's muscles and creates good muscle tone and definition. Other than accessibility, the only draw back to swimming is the large number of people who come to the pool, swim two lengths then sit for 5 minutes, and repeat for 45 minutes. They leave thinking they've done something, but in reality have gotten virtually no benefit (except a nice bath) out of their workout time.

Try to mix up swimming and jogging to get all the benefits
