Sport and leisure
Swimming is a great form of exercise, helping you build muscle strength and improve your cardiovascular fitness. Exercising in water places less stress on your joints, and can be more comfortable than activities on dry land. Swimming can also help reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression, and improve your sleep.
