An Endless Pool provides the ultimate swim because by swimming in-place, you need not turn, making your swimming 20-30% more effective. So why is swimming the best exercise?

Benefits of swimming

Buoyancy
In water, the effect of gravity is greatly reduced. In neck-deep water, a person only weighs about 10% of their normal, land-based weight. This reduces the stress on joints and limbs. This means even someone with an injury that would normally prevent them from performing exercises on land can enjoy water exercises without any problems.

Water resistance
The gentle, even resistance provided by water increases the overall benefit of movement. But the stress of the movement is shifted away from the weight-bearing joints to actual muscles. This means any movements done in water can be both aerobic and anaerobic.
As water resistance can be controlled, workouts can be customized. In an Endless Pool, you can adjust the speed of the current to increase or decrease the effort required.

Water temperature
An Endless Pool allows you to set the water temperature to your preferred level. Exercise in warmer water can stimulate blood circulation, promote healing of injuries and relax muscles.

Other health benefits of swimming and other aquatic exercises include: 

• Cardiovascular endurance
• Muscular strength and endurance
• Stress reduction
