With more than 250 days of sunshine a year, Wichita takes advantage of all the outdoors has to offer. There are 11 public swimming pools located throughout the city and several private pools for your enjoyment.
Swimming is a wonderful exercise that can benefit anyone. If you’re not fortunate enough to have your own pool, you can use one of many public Wichita swimming pools or private facility. Whatever way you do it, try to get wet often; it’s good for you and lots of fun too!
- Keep moderation in mind when you go in the pool. Begin with short period of 10 to 20 minutes. You can increase this when you gain in stamina. And don’t try all the hardest strokes at first. Build up to it gently.
- Don’t allow children (or adults) to run near the pool. Running and diving into a pool is asking for trouble. Accidents can easily happen on slippery surfaces, so play safe always.
.
Hand mitts, paddles, swim fins, and kickboards are all ways to make your swimming more fun and challenging to provide better exercise. These days you can even swim to music by using a specially designed radio that fits into a waterproof bag. So don’t just lounge around the pool all day. Use it as it is intended to be used – swim and enjoy life!
