Can't Swim? Here's 3 Things you Can Do On Dry Land!
Dry land exercises and flexibility techniques go hand in hand with swimming. Swimming World Magazine recognizes the struggles you are feeling without your pool, so they've put together a variety of suggestions to keep you active and fit, and ready for the pool when we reopen!

  • Work on your flexibility. Spend 10 minutes in the morning and 10 minutes in the evening stretching. You could be listening to your favorite music or watching your favorite TV show – whatever it takes – just stretch, stretch, stretch.
  • Learn Yoga! Yoga is brilliant for swimmers. It improves your flexibility. It helps strengthen and stabilize your core. It helps you learn to relax and to control your breathing. It costs nothing – as there are many high quality, excellent Basic, Introductory Yoga videos available for free on line. Check out Donna's Yoga Video above!
  • Work on strengthening and stabilizing your “core”. Strengthening and stabilizing your core will help every aspect of your swimming. It will help your “connect” your upper and lower body which will increase your potential to apply greater force and power to the water. It can potentially decrease your risk of injury. It’s a great time right now to strengthen and stabilize the core muscles around your pelvis, abdominal region, lower and upper back and shoulders.
