Swimming pools. Not just a great place to cool off in the summers, but a great addition to keeping up with your fitness goals! Grab your goggles and give this workout a try!
Breathing: Find a flow to your inhale, typically done on one side of the body. If you have to take a breath every stroke, it’s time to make your way to the wall and hangout for a bit until you catch your breath.
Swim with a lifeguard!
