A great full body workout
Did you know that swimming uses all the muscles in your body? This means each time you’re swimming you’re doing a full body workout and is one of the most effective and efficient ways to burn calories. Swimming just 30 minutes, three times a week can help you stay healthy and fit.
Low-impact therapy for injuries
One of the great benefits of swimming is being able to feel weightless while exercising. This is the ideal option for those with injuries or other restrictions when it comes to exercising. Swimming can help tone muscles, build strength and cardiovascular fitness all at once! If you have an injury or exercise restriction, speak with your healthcare professional about what pool exercises could benefit you the most.

Relaxing form of exercise
Some people often associate exercise with having to exert yourself mentally and physically, but this doesn’t have to be the case. Swimming can be a great way to relieve stress as well as working out. Whether you’re stressed at work, need a break from the kids or just simply need some ‘me time’, swimming regularly can help lower stress levels and anxiety as well as improve your sleep patterns.

Mineral pools are great for your health
Mineral pools are becoming increasingly popular in Australia and for good reason. So what is a mineral pool? A mineral pool contains, in addition to a sanitiser and other necessary water balancing chemicals, naturally occurring minerals that enhance the swimming experience. Some of the benefits of a mineral pool include:
- Help alleviate aches/pains and soothes your skin thanks to magnesium chloride and potassium chloride
- Magnesium chloride can support detoxification in your body
- Help relieve stress
- Water feels silky smooth against your skin
- Little to no eye irritation
- Hair and skin won’t have such a strong chlorine smell or sticky salt feeling
