Swimfit, the world’s leading pool workout is available at several Brio pools! The Swimfit programme has been developed by swimming experts at the ASA. It is a great alternative for keeping fit other than using a gym or attending a fitness class. It’s really easy to join and you can get involved in two ways. You can either join a Swim Fit Activate+ group session which will be delivered by one of our qualified instructors or pick up a Swim Fit Activation+ card on poolside to enhance your own swimming experience. You can also log your progress online through Swimfit Motivate! This really is a great way to get in shape and stay healthy.
Swimfit fulfils a number of categories, namely:-
- Health - for those who want to improve their general health and wellbeing.
- Fitness - for those who simply want to improve their fitness levels
- Low impact - great for those with aches and pains as swimming really is the best form of non-weight bearing activity
- Competitive - for those who really want to get that competitive edge and be the best they can!
- Tone - swimming is a great way to keep in shape and tone up
- Weight Loss - great way to burn calories and get rid of the love handles!
- Challenges - keep yourself motivated and challenged to keep your work outs fun and exciting.
- Water is about 800 times denser that air. This means you can work harder and burn more calories in a pool.
- Swimming can support up to 90% of the body’s weight in the water, creating a safer exercise environment for people with injuries
- The pressure of the water means that you can work to the same intensity as on land but with a heart rate of up to 20 bpm lower.
- Swimming for just 30 minutes burns between 200 – 350 calories.
