Why Swim?

Swimming is considered to be one of the most beneficial sports in terms of physical fitness. 

Unlike other sports where an hour of practice may only provide a limited amount of meaningful exercise, swim teams utilize every minute of practice time to develop fitness and teach skills. 

Swimming promotes high-quality aerobic endurance, which is the most important key to physical fitness, and helps to proportionally develop all of the body's major muscle groups. 

Additionally, swimming exercises all major joints through a full range of motion, which can enhance children's natural flexibility during a time when they may be losing it. 

Swimming also helps to develop superior coordination due to its requirement of complex movements from all parts of the body. 

Furthermore, swimming is considered to be one of the most injury-free sports for children. 

Overall, swimming is a lifelong sport that brings both fitness and enjoyment well into adulthood.
