Did you know!? ❤️💙

While most people appreciate the health advantages that come from running, cycling, or lifting weights, fewer people understand the benefits that come from a good swim.

Swimming offers a low-impact exercise with numerous benefits, from the health of your muscles and joints to the function of your heart and lungs. Experts detail the benefits of swimming—and how to get started: https://on.natgeo.com/45qnlCn

🌟 Swimmer Spotlight: John! 🌟

Meet John, one of our amazing 9-year-old swimmers! This is his very first year on the swim team, and he’s already doing a fantastic job learning, growing, and having fun in the pool.

John’s favorite stroke is freestyle, and he brings a great attitude to every practice. When he’s not swimming, he loves playing video games, especially Kirby and Mario, a true classic-game fan! 🎮⭐

His favorite food is fried chicken, and one of his all-time favorite memories is sledding at his grandparents’ house in Alaska ❄️🛷 How cool is that?!

We’re so proud to have John & his AWESOME personality on the team and can’t wait to watch him continue to grow this season. Keep up the great work, John! 💙💦
