Swimming and Joint Mobility — The Perfect Low-Impact Workout

The Gentle Strength of Water

Swimming is one of the best exercises for joint mobility because water supports up to 90% of your body weight. That means less pressure on knees, hips, and shoulders — and more freedom to move.

For people recovering from injury, living with arthritis, or simply looking to stay mobile, swimming provides a full-body workout that improves flexibility, balance, and coordination.

How Swimming Improves Mobility

• Resistance without impact: Water provides natural resistance, helping muscles strengthen safely.

• Improved range of motion: The buoyancy of water supports smoother, freer movement.

• Reduced stiffness: The gentle warmth of pool water can relax tight joints and muscles.

• Enhanced circulation: Promotes nutrient delivery to joints and connective tissues.

Ideal for All Ages

Children, adults, and seniors all benefit from swimming’s joint-protective effects. Even two 30-minute sessions a week can significantly improve mobility and comfort.

💧 After each swim, remember to rehydrate your skin. Chlorine can cause dryness, so using Clean Swim Lotion restores balance and moisture to keep you feeling comfortable and confident.
