Swimming pool – get exercise, and takes little space
Feature #40, April 11, 2010
Swimming pools are used for lounging, playing and also exercising. Many people are limited to space in their backyard for a swimming pool. What about a swimming pool that is small in footprint, and helps you exercise? Freshome has an article about a swimming pool called, Endless pool.
“Endless pool is a is a counter-current swimming pool and water exercise machine that is small enough to fit inside a home. The Endless pool features an adjustable current that allows you to swim or exercise in place. The current is broad and deep, and is suitable to every swimming ability and fitness need. You can also set the temperature precisely, based on preferences and needs. The unique, swim current is completely adjustable in speed, from zero to racer’s pace. With this technology you can enjoy a high quality swim that will keep you fit, in a such a small place.”
Swimming is perhaps the best exercise for most people. You work out many muscle groups as well as get a good cardio workout with low impact on your joints.
I love swimming, and have always wanted a pool. I’ve never had the space for one, so this is great!
