February is Heart Month, and if you’re looking for an exercise that improves your heart and lung capacity but is also easy on your body, look no further then your backyard swimming pool!

Swimming has been scientifically proven to improve your cardiovascular fitness, improve your blood pressure, help improve your overall fitness, and more – all while putting less strain on your connecting tissues then running, weight lifting or other forms of weight training typically do.

Here are five other amazing reasons why swimming is good for your heart and for you!

1. Swimming can improve your cardiovascular fitness, as well as improve your cholesterol levels
2. Swimming can improve various measures of blood sugar control, such as insulin sensitivity
3. The resistance of the water against your body while swimming helps to develop muscle, further improving your blood sugar control
4. Swimming provides unparalleled cardiovascular conditioning, stimulates your metabolism and helps burn fat
5. Swimming works the heart and lungs, training the body to use oxygen more efficiently and thus lowering your resting heart rate and breathing rate

So, what are you waiting for? Swimming is not just a fun activity and a great way to cool down on a hot Summer's day, but it's also very good for your health. The next time you're splashing about outside, remember that you're actually doing wonders for your body!
