Swimming works the whole body, improving cardiovascular conditioning, muscle strength, endurance, posture, and flexibility. The cardiovascular system in particular benefits because swimming improves the body’s use of oxygen without overworking the heart. As swimmers become more fit and are able to swim longer, resting heart rate and respiratory rate will be reduced, making blood flow to the heart and lungs more efficiently. Simply put, some call swimming the perfect form of exercise.
