Swimming is, generally, kinder to the body than land-based exercise because your natural buoyancy in water helps you avoid much of the stress that can cause injuries. In water our guests weigh about a tenth of their normal weight, and the range of motion for the less fit person is much wider, as the water supports the weight of your limbs. Our rehabilitation swimming program is also for guests who want to exercise, but who might have problems with weight-bearing land-based activities. For example, swimming might suit those who have arthritis or back problems, weight problems or are recovering from accidents or injuries.
