Swimming is a great way to maintain fitness without putting excess load on your joints. It is an excellent choice for older people suffering from joint pain caused by arthritis or for those recovering from physical injury. Swimming is also a great option for people who are overweight or obese who might experience knee/ankle pain or shin splints as a result of running and other forms of physical activity.
Short fact:
An average adult swimming at low to moderate pace will burn around 423 calories per hour
