From nippers to seniors, every Australian knows a daily swim is great for fitness, but there are other benefits you may not have thought of - physical, mental and, for some, even spiritual. If you’re thinking about starting a new exercise
routine, dive in. Six million regular swimmers* can’t be wrong.
ALL THE PERKS, HALF THE EFFORT
30 minutes of swimming burns a similar number of calories to an hour of non-water-based exercise. So, why not ditch the smelly footwear and gym tops and jump in. The water’s beautiful.
TURN UP AND TONE UP!
It’s an all over body workout, using upper body and lower body. Plus, if you want to really tone up, you can isolate muscles by kicking with a kickboard or pull-buoy.
