The exercise is performed with a tube shaped plastic bag about five feet long with a quart of water in it. The wrist slips through the bag's handles and the dance like routine of seven basic movements begins. Flo-Motion may be the exercise of the future. Although swimming may not be considered the only water exercise, it is an endurance sport that promotes vigorous use of muscles in the upper and lower body. It stimulates muscle growth since water resistance is high.
Swimming changes the body appearance as it increases muscle tissue and decreases body fat.
It also has circulatory benefits. It decreases heart rate, blood pressure, and cholesterol but increases the volume of blood pumped out of the heart. Swimming has proven to be a valuable sport. The most rapid growth in aquatics has been infant and preschool programs. The number of programs, enrollment, printed materials, and acceptance of aquatics in the educational and medical communities has increased.
