Swimming
Because the human body is made up of 70 per cent water, we're rather good at floating. This is why you get a feeling of weightlessness when you're swimming. It's also why swimming is a great form of low-impact exercise.
Swimming is a great cardiovascular workout, and elevates the heart and respiratory rates, improving overall health for everyone.
When you swim, you exercise all of the muscles in your body and burn about the same number of calories as you would by walking fast or jogging slowly. It also eases pressure on the back and legs - which take a fair pummelling in most other forms of activity. So let's get splashing!
Swimming does it all!
It’s great for your health, it’s a fun activity and most importantly it’s the only sport that can save your life.
Billingham Forum is now closed for a
multi-million pound refurbishment. It will re-open in
January 2011.
During
this time most of Billingham Forum’s pool sessions and lessons are
being relocated to Splash and Thornaby Pool.
