Making weekend plans? Be sure to fit in some fun fitness activities that the whole family can enjoy.

It’s hot, it’s summer, cool off and take a swim! Enjoy a dip in the pool or hit the beach!

Swimming is one of the safest, most effective forms of exercise and recruits all of the major muscle groups. Be sure to stay hydrated by drinking fluids, especially when swimming for extended periods in the heat. Beginning swimmers should be well-supervised and should consider swim lessons by a certified instructor. Check your local colleges and community centers for a list of instructors and locations.

Be safe and be fit with friends and family!
