FANCY A DIP? There are plenty of benefits to be had from getting in the pool
Stripping off and diving into a swimming pool can seem daunting, but braving the water could be one of the best decisions you ever make for your mental and physical health.
Here are five key benefits of taking up swimming in retirement and some tips on how to get started...
1. Takes pressure off the joints
"Swimming is kind to the body, especially as we get older," says Emma Kuwertz-Norman, national swim manager at Nuffield Health.
"The water takes the pressure off your joints, which makes it ideal for anyone dealing with arthritis, osteoporosis, or general stiffness. It's low-impact but still gives you a full-body workout. You're still building strength, improving flexibility, and getting your heart working - all without putting excessive stress on your body."
2. Improves mental health
