Cardiovascular health is a crucial part of your overall wellness, especially as you age. ❤️ One way that you can strengthen your heart is by incorporating swimming into your weekly routine. 🏊♂️ Swimming works to make your heart stronger and improves your cardiovascular health through the gradual increase of a steady heart rate and lowering of your blood pressure. Why are these two bi-products of swimming important? They decrease your risk of heart disease which increases as you age. 🌊
