Swimming is one of the best full-body exercises available. Using the resistance of water, swimming provides excellent cardiovascular and strength training as you build endurance. This comes with the added benefit of keeping low levels of impact, stress, and strain on your body. When it comes to children's swim lessons and exercises, this can help them stay safe near water and give you peace of mind each time they hit the pool. The Chicago Athletic Clubs' multiple, state-of-the-art pools offer many opportunities for lap swimming, water exercise classes, and private swim instruction. Our certified swim instructors in Chicago work with individuals of every age and swim experience level. Looking to learn more?
