Swimming might be a low-impact exercise but it can be tough on the back, shoulders, and core muscles, which is where Pilates for swimmers comes in. The movements help work all these areas, boosting strength and improving mobility and flexibility.
If you do a Pilates workout at home or a regular Pilates abs workout, you'll likely be familiar with some of the movements, but in the pool, you'll find the single arm and leg focuses have a particularly unique effect.
