Swimming: everything in one place
A full-body workout that is kind to your joints. A whole-platform hub assembled from 15 sections of existing, cross-linked knowledge — skills, rules, equipment, science, calculators, comparisons, diagrams, learning and research.
Overview
Swimming works the whole body while the water supports your weight, which makes it one of the lowest-impact ways to build fitness. It suits a very wide range of ages and abilities.
From steady lane swimming to open-water and masters clubs, it offers both a meditative solo workout and a social one, and it is a genuinely valuable life skill in its own right.
