INDOOR POOL & SPA

INCLUDED IN FITNESS AND STUDIO MEMBERSHIPS

Swimming is an excellent form of exercise for any age and body type. Its low-impact nature makes for a painless and stress-free workout that hits both cardiovascular and strength training. Using every major muscle group in your arms, back, core, and legs to glide through the pool increases your heart rate while your watery surroundings add built-in resistance. It’s a full-body workout without the full-body joint impact.

MIX UP YOUR STROKES FOR A WELL-ROUNDED WORKOUT

There are a variety of strokes and drills you can use in the pool to increase your fitness levels and prevent boredom. Beginners typically feel most comfortable working with a kickboard to build endurance, leg strength, and comfort in the water. As you progress, focus on mastering freestyle or a front crawl, which can be done without assistance or while floating on a noodle. Once you’re comfortable with freestyle, try incorporating backstroke into your routine. You’ll engage your core and work the opposite muscles used in freestyle, giving you well rounded strength. If you want to improve upper body strength or have lower body injuries, place a pull buoy in between your legs, which will help them float, and focus on propelling your body forward with just your arms and upper body. Breaststroke and butterfly are more advanced strokes and major calorie burners!
