Fitness Committee Article of the Month for July

[Pam Himstreet]

The USMS Fitness Committee produces many different types of articles about swimming, with topics ranging from swimming technique to nutrition. This year, we are establishing a new feature called Fitness Article of the Month. We are trying to feature a new article each month in the Fitness section of the USMS Web Site. At the end of each month, these articles will become a part of the permanent archive. Anyone in USMS is invited to submit an article for this new feature.

The July article is entitled "Play with Your Routine" There are seven activities that can provide a great workout while being alternatives to the usual lap swimming. These are especially applicable to outdoor pools and summer fun. Try them with you team, friends, kids or grandkids. Check it out!
