Now that the kids are back in school, fall is the perfect time for parents to learn something new too!
Yes, years may have past since you last started new classes in the fall, but it's never too late for adults to learn something new, such as a sport. Even if P.E. was your least favorite subject!
Consider the case of Denver resident Joe Wolf. After learning to swim freestyle at age 32, Joe swam across the English Channel just three years later in 2005.
You don't have to become a marathon athlete however, to benefit from learning to swim. A terrific low impact exercise that adults of any age can pursue, swimming on a regular basis can improve health by lowering blood pressure and decreasing stress levels. And if weight loss is a goal, look no further than the pool because a 155-pound adult burns 563 calories per hour while doing moderate-paced freestyle laps. Best of all though, learning to swim gives you an activity to share with your kids.
Still recovering from a bad childhood learn-to-swim experience? Drop by the facility to see how SwimLabs lessons are trauma-free. Learning to swim in endless pools means warmer than average water temperature and the ability to stand up at any time -- no more clinging on the wall like a barnacle or navigating a deep end before you're ready.
Plus, the unique SwimLabs system that incorporates on-deck coaching from certified experts with Dartfish technology helps students of any age progress at a fast pace. If you've never swum a stroke before, you'll be surprised by how quickly you become proficient in the water!
SwimLabs offers private and semi-private half-hour weekday or weekend lessons so you don't have to miss a thing while you learn to swim. To sign up for your first lesson call (303) 798-SWIM (7946) or visit www.swimlabs.com.
