Swimming Pool
Whether it is for relaxation or fitness, our heated indoor swimming pool caters for both the recreational and the serious swimmer.
Our pool is 13 meters long with a maximum depth of 1.47 meters and has tranquil underwater lighting.
Swimming is great way to enjoy yourself and get good exercise. Swimming is a lifetime sport that benefits the body and the whole person and that's what makes you feel so good after a swim.
Swimming is a healthy activity that can be continued for a lifetime. The health benefits swimming offers are more than worth the effort it takes to get to the pool.
Regular swimming builds endurance, muscle strength and cardio-vascular fitness. It can serve as a cross-training element to your normal workouts.
Before a gym workout, you can use the pool for a warm-up session.
Swimming with increasing effort to gradually increase your heart rate and stimulate your muscle activity is easily accomplished in the water.
After a gym workout, swimming a few lengths can help you cool-down, move blood through your muscles to help them recover, and help you relax as you glide through the water.
Swimming is a great way to lose fat, where you burn about 3 calories a mile per pound of bodyweight.
There are other psychological benefits to swimming, if you allow it to occur.
Relax and swim with a very low effort. Let your mind wander, focusing on nothing but the rhythm of your stroke.
This form of meditation can help you gain a feeling of well-being, leaving the pool refreshed and ready to go on with the rest of your day.
