That is right! Swimming not only burns calories but spending time in the pool can double as a mini resistance workout due to the water being 800 times denser than air! So you can jump your way to firmer calves while showing the jiggle of your sexy curves, you can kick your way to firmer thighs, you can push your way to firmer arms and you can pull your way to a stronger back; plus all the above strengthens your core and your heart. Sounds like a typical game of SPLASH can give you the daily workout you desire.

The best part about swimming is that it is kind to the BBW Body because you become virtually weightless. So all those aching joints, bad knees, injured backs can still enjoy a fun workout; even if they are confined to a wheel chair!

WHAT? How is this possible, you ask? Many public pools around the U.S. are wheelchair accessible*. Now the only thing standing between you and staying active while having fun is you. So go have a splashing good time!
