these days we are less strict about merits of swimming. But there is little doubt that swimming is a vital skill that every child should be taught. From the health perspective, not only is swimming a great form of general exercise but also is very therapeutic for particular conditions or injuries.
some of swimming health benefits include
strengthening of muscles
building and maintaining healthy bones
keeps body weight under control
promotes better food choices
helps to prevent the onset of teenage diabetes
fat burning
low impact on joints
exercise and health benefit
with help of stretch bend one can run in swimming pool against current of water. The power lifting is possible that too in water which reduces 50% strain on joints. Swimming is one of the few ways of exercising that improves all-round fitness because it can boost strength, stamina and suppleness all at the same time. One can look at it as having all the cardiovascular benefits of running, but with some of the strength-building effects of weight-training and some of the suppleness promoting effects of dance classes.
swimming uses all the major muscle groups and is a demanding aerobic exercise that helps to keep our heart and lungs healthy. Swimming also helps to keep our joints flexible, especially in the neck, shoulders, hips and groin as our limbs and body move through the water.
one can increase his level of physical activity by swimming, and therefore, increase the amount of energy he burns up which is a vital component of a weight management program.
another benefit is the strength and improved co-ordination, built up by swimming. It also reduces the risk of hip fractures in the old age. However, swimming will not build up bones because we need to perform weight-bearing land-based exercises to do this. Also there are some evidences that exercise may protect against colon cancer and can help the elderly people to retain more of their ability to think clearly.
swimming is, generally, kinder to our body than land-based exercise because our natural buoyancy in water helps us to avoid the jarring knocks that can cause injuries. In water, one weighs about a tenth of his normal weight, and the range of motion for the less fit person is much wider, as the supports the weight of limbs.
therefore, it is a good choice for people who want to exercise, but have problems with weight-bearing land-based activities. For example, swimming might suit those who have arthritis or back problems, weight problems or are pregnant. health benefits

chlorine is popular because it is both an oxidizer and a sanitizer, and it is relatively inexpensive. You can buy chlorine in liquid, tablet, or granular form. (see “the forms of chlorine”) chlorine is also available as a gas, but it is not used in residential pools in this form.
when you add chlorine to the water, it goes to work immediately. To keep the pool clean, a certain amount of chlorine always has to remain in the water to constantly destroy subsequent bacteria and organic material. That means that at any given time there are two types of chlorine present in the pool. The type that is standing by to clean up the water is called free available chlorine (fac). Then there is the chlorine that has already done its work and has combined with organic matter, called combined available chlorine (cac), which is actually a compound made up of chlorine and nitrogen or ammonia. Together fac and cac comprise the total available chlorine in a pool or spa.
think of it this way: fac is good chlorine; cac is bad chlorine because it no longer has the ability to sanitize the water. The chlorine odor we associate with crowded public pools is actually from cac. When you smell chlorine it means that there is not enough good chlorine in the water. At high levels, cac causes skin irritation and burning eyes. To bring the fac chlorine levels to where they should be, you need to shock the water by adding about 5 to 10 times the normal application of chlorine to the pool.
administering chlorine. You have to mix liquid or granular chlorine with water before pouring it into the pool. Direct contact with the chlorine can bleach a vinyl liner. When handling chlorine, always use a clean container. Chlorine should not be combined with other chemicals. (see “play it safe with chemicals”).
if you use a chlorine tablet, you can place it in a floating erosion feeder, in which the water slowly dissolves the tablets, or in a holder that you can install inside the skimmer, another option is to install a chemical feeder in the pool’s circulation system. The feeder is placed down stream, or after the pump and filter. That means the every time the pump is turned on, the pool is getting a does of chlorine ,which is being distributed throughout the pool more evenly then is possible with hand or simple erosion,
a sunny location, right, may keep the water warm, but ultraviolet rays can make chlorine ineffective a healthy spa, below, requires more chlorine then a pool does, because contaminants are more concentrated. Feeding . It also means that the chlorine is thoroughly diluted by the time it returns to the pump and filter, minimizing the possibility of damage caused by the chemical, if you do not want to handle chlorine at all, you can install a chlorine generator. These devices pass an electric current through water that turns salt to chlorine. You refresh the supply of salt in the water by adding it a few times during the swimming season. In most case you simple dump bags of water softener salt in to the pool and move it around to dissolve it, manufacturers offer charts giving the recommended salt levels for pools.

the flatter the body is in relationship to the surface of the water, the faster and further the body will travel on a turn and a push off.
the longer the head stays in a streamlined position, increased speed and further the distance is achieved on the dive and turn. Keep head still for about 4 strokes (in freestyle).

So you want to buy a pool but don’t know where to start? Perhaps knowing the common mistakes people make when purchasing a pool will help you start off on the right foot. Everyday, people get “duped” into buying the wrong pool, the wrong way, with no recourse or protection. These same people wind up being dissatisfied and even angry because their expectations were not met.
Throughout my long career in the pool industry, I have met many people who have made serious mistakes when they purchased their pool. Every year it seems as though I hear the same stories over and over. As a result of talking with scores of pool owners and through my own years of experience in the industry, I have concluded that there are six common mistakes that people make when purchasing a pool.
Pool Purchasing Mistakes are
Ask the right questions! It’s simple. If you ask the right questions, you’ll uncover 90 percent of the potential problems that most pool purchasers commonly face. There’s always that 10 percent chance that something will happen that you couldn’t have foreseen; but, for the most part, you’ll be able to avoid almost any surprise. However, if you’re like most other pool purchasers, you know so little about pools or pool construction that you don’t even know what questions to ask. That is why I wrote this special report just for you. After reading this report, you will be one of those few pool purchasers who “know what they’re talking about.”
The first questions you need to ask yourself when thinking about buying a pool are: 1. Why do I want a pool? 2. What will my family and I use the pool for? 3. Who is going to maintain the pool? Why are these questions so important? Before you can decide “what” type of pool you want, you need to understand “why” you want a pool. Is it for family recreation, entertaining guests, physical therapy, exercise, and personal recreation or just to “keep up with the Jones’?” Knowing the answer to these questions will help you avoid the first deadly pool purchasing mistake, which is. . .
Not Designing Your Pool for its Intended Purpose
You might have heard the phrase,
For instance, if you are going to use your pool mostly for family entertainment, then you will want to include safety features such as gating or fencing that will control access to the pool. If your primary use is for entertainment, then you may consider mood lighting features with special landscaping features, such as waterfall features in and around the pool. If you want to build a pool for physical therapy or exercise, you might include a longer shallow area for swimming or perhaps built in spa jets in the seat, pull up bars, or even a smaller pool with swim jets.
Pools and spas are fun, but there can be hassles building and installing them. So let’s begin with an important piece of advice: before you play, do a little homework. Start by thinking of your new pool or spa for what it really is – a major home improvement project that is going to require you to make decisions, hire professionals, may be do some of the work yourself and of course pay the bills
No matter which type of pool or spa you choose, it will be only one element in the overall design of your outdoor living space. You may want to built a deck or patio around the pool for sunning and entertaining, install lighting, new landscaping, and perhaps add a shed or an outbuilding for storing equipment or changing in and out of swimwear. Hot tubs and spas require the same considerations, but usually on a smaller scale.
However, your home paradise doesn’t have to be done all at once. Some things, such as a large multi-level redwood deck or a flagstone patio enclosed by a garden wall, can be postponed. Just be sure to allot the necessary space for them. But it is a good idea to rough-in pool-related items such as heaters or fountains that you may want to add in the future. It is generally more expensive if you do a major renovation later. Chapter 8, “Around the Pool – Landscaping and Water Features,” beginning on page 146, contains more useful information on that topic.
Uses for Your Pool and Spa
How you plan to use your pool and spa you will need. Throw the dimensions of your yard into the equation, and you should be able to come up with a rough plan that gives an idea of the size and shape of pool and spa that is right for you, as well as some idea about where to put them on your yard. Of course, there is a lot more to think about, including your budget, but start slowly. Before you begin working on the details, think of the big picture. Start the planning process by thinking about the things you and your family enjoys the most. Here are some ideas.
A RecreationCenter
This is probably the most popular type of pool. It’s where you and your family and friends hang out and have some good wet fun. If spending an afternoon splashing around on a float is your idea of a swim, perhaps an aboveground pool might be for you. Or you can opt for an in-ground pool that has a constant depth – let’s say about 4 feet. Both are good choices, especially if small children will be using the pool. The depth accommodates most pool games and is still deep enough to swim for exercise.
A large pool with a deep and for diving and an attached in-ground spa offers something for everyone. If you decide to add a diving board, the pool will need a deep end. Recommendations vary but plan on a depth of about 9 to 11 feet in the diving area, which should extend out a minimum of approximately 12 feet in front if the diving board.
Other amenities to consider for a recreation center include slides and a nearby spa.
