GET IN THE SWIM!
You'll Be in Good Company
In swimming, the arms and legs press rhythmically against a gentle, pleasant, nonviolent medium. The capacity of the heart and lungs increases every time you swim. Swimming is as American as Esther Williams and Johnny Weissmuller Some 83 million Americans -- 35 percent -- report themselves as recreational swimmers, and 20 million -- 8.5 percent --swim more than three times a week. They do it for fitness, for fun, and for competition. These people are in the fast lane to a long life, with quality health.
