Doctor Dave, Boy you rattle things off the top of your head better than most. I can only agree with your post. I have lead several swim fit classes and found it to be a perfect adjunct to every form of exercise. I love that you suggested the swim gloves to increase resistence and agree that you should be swimming a few weeks before you add them. I also used ankle weights (in the shallow end of the pool) to increase some of the work and there are styrofoam dumbbells you can purchase that come with a video to show exercises you can do in the pool.
I wil re-emphasize the need for water and the fantastic benefits to joint health when you swim. Hope some people will bet more use of their pools or use the gym pools more after this great post by the good Doctor. Happy swimming. Vickie
