swim

Moving through the water or swimming is a popular source of recreation, exercise and in some cases is a competitive sport. One of the most popular of Olympic events, swimming has received world wide recognition as a competitive sport. Since swimming is a low impact sport, it can offer lifelong benefits for health and fitness. People who swim may find an increase in endurance, muscle strength and cardio-vascular fitness. A very popular way to do this cost effectively is to purchase a lap pool.

Swimming also has benefits for weight loss, at a rate of 3 calories per mile per pound. A person weighing 150 pounds who swims the mile in 30 minutes would burn 900 calories in an hour.


Swim blogs include registration, news and event listings as well as video and photos of top swimming events and swimming’s best athletes. The Swim network seems to be an all inclusive blog with links to the latest news and full details on the Beijing Olympic swimmers.
