Looking for Summer Fun?

Family preparing to swimSPLASH your way into summer! The entire family can enjoy fun in the sun while swimming. Swimming is a great way to get physical activity and stay cool during the hot summer months.

Benefits of swimming:

  • Swimming burns lots of calories.
  • Swimming uses almost all the major muscle groups, so it's great for resistance training without placing a strain on the body.
  • Regular swimming builds muscle strength, endurance, and cardiovascular fitness.
  • Swimming is soothing, relaxing and relieves stress.
  • Swimming is FUN!!

Fun games to play:

Water Frisbee: Divide everyone up into two teams. All you need is a frisbee and two laundry baskets for the goals. One side defends, and the other tries to score.

Water Hoops: Get two hoops, one on each side of the pool and play a game of basketball. Only one rule: no one can have the ball for more than 5 seconds at a time.

Race: Have relay races or underwater races!

Remember to be safe and obey pool rules.
