Facts and Questions about our club and Swimming
 | Our Club has been active now for 4 years :) We have helped many people
with a variety of problems and questions.
|
| We are a registered Club in Redmond, Washington
|
| We currently have 28 staff members not including me
|
| Our main objective: Helping those struggling, learn how to swim. |
| Q - Why Swim?
A - Swimming is the ideal, all-around exercise for all ages. Swimming builds
aerobic capacity as effectively as any sport with less risk of injury. The
body's natural buoyancy in the water frees it from weight-bearing stress that
accounts for the low injury rate among swimmers. It's a therapeutic exercise
for people with injuries, arthritis, weight, or back problems. |
Aerobic conditioning in the water
tends to stabilize blood pressure and improve arterial circulation. The
pressure of the surrounding water further improves peripheral circulation.
Water temperature keeps the body cooled, which is safer for exercising.
Swimming is a balanced exercise that utilizes all the body's major muscle
groups and improves general muscle tone without producing tightness. And lets
face it, as we get older, keeping flexibility, slowing the inevitable decline
of muscle mass, and just plain using it so we don't lose it, is key to being a
healthy, happy 80 year old.
| Q - I want to become a
swimmer, how do I begin?
A - Becoming a swimmer is more
than just learning how to swim. It is learning to enjoy swimming as a fitness
activity. Your goal should not just be to get across the pool a few time;
it's to start down a lifelong path to overall fitness. Becoming a swimmer as
an adult is a very basic process, but it is not something that happens in just
one or two sessions. The most important thing is to find a swimming program
that is right for you. |
| Q - Am I too old to swim?
A - You are never too old to start swimming. Swimming can be a lifelong
activity that anyone can participate in and become successful at. Anyone can
learn how to swim, anyone can learn to swim well, and anyone can learn to swim
fast. No matter how old you start, the rewards of health, mobility, and fun
far out weigh the small amount of effort that it takes to just get started.
