Why choose swimming or aquatics?
Swimming is considered the perfect workout. It targets every major muscle group while remaining gentle on the body, making it suitable whatever your age or fitness level.
Thanks to water’s natural buoyancy, nearly 90% of your body weight is supported in the pool. That means you can build lean muscle and improve endurance without putting stress on your joints or risking inflammation.
Did you know, as a low-impact workout with high-impact results, regular swimming can help:
- Improve lung capacity
- Strengthen heart health
- Burn calories
- Build strength and stamina safely.
It’s also a great way to supplement your other workouts, such as cross trainer or exercise classes.
More than just physical benefits
The benefits don’t stop at the body. The pool is also a sanctuary for wellbeing.
There’s something uniquely calming about the rhythm of swimming. The steady breathing, the repetition of strokes, the gentle sound of water – all working in harmony to reduce stress. Swimming also lowers cortisol levels, helping you feel calmer.
Whether you’re powering through laps or embracing the therapeutic chill of the water, swimming fosters mental clarity.
Don’t just dip your toe in… dive in together
It’s also a brilliant activity to enjoy with friends or family. Why not make it a weekly date and keep each other motivated?
Come along and experience it for yourself at St Peter’s and Padiham Leisure Centres.
You can enjoy swimming with all of our memberships, and our Anytime membership also includes access to the gym, sauna and steam room, exercise classes, personal support sessions, and more!
If swimming is your main focus, we also offer a Swim Only Membership, giving you access to the pool along with added perks such as:
- 10% discount off food and drink at all our bistros
- Free use of Boditrax body composition analysis kit
- Access to our Bonus Loyalty Club, where your efforts are rewarded with perks from big brands, including Nike.
