2. Water-based exercise brings several advantages, as compared to land-
based exercise. As an environment that offers reduced weight-bearing
stress, higher humidity levels, decreased heat load and a greater margin
of therapeutic safety. Swimming is extremely well placed to safely and
effectively meet the needs of a wide range of individuals, in both

impact, it is something you can do every single day. As a result,
swimming is the best form of physical exercise that promotes good
health.
