Warming up and cooling

Before each session warm up your muscles, raise your heart rate and get your body ready for exercise. This could be by swimming a few gentle widths or walking in the water.

At the end of each session you should gradually slow down to help your body cool down and decrease your heart rate. Again swim a few cool down widths at a gentle pace or walk in the water.
