Swimming is a lifelong sport that people of all ages can enjoy and benefit from. It is a fun activity that burns fat while being easy on joints, and can help address the serious issue of childhood obesity. Regular swimming provides lifelong health benefits both during and after school, adding a new dimension to physical education, and the cost of pool facilities would be outweighed by these lasting rewards.
