Swimming On The Spot Is Good For You May 21, 2007

I’m no fish but I do know that swimming regularly tops the fitness polls as one of the best exercises for the body, even more so than walking fast or running from the police.

The only problem is that swimming in comfort requires your own pool since public baths are usually overrun by little horrors doing bombs and learners drowning in the dedicated swim lanes. The only solution is a pool at home and even then, you’ll be lucky to be able to afford a really small one. One in which doing laps means five or six strokes in one direction before turning around.

For £2,000, you can swim on the spot and get fitter and thinner than ever. Meet the portable ExerSwim, which you place at the edge of the pool to generate a constant current that you swim towards but never reach. £2,000 is not cheap but it could finally make your bathtub swimming pool useful.-Martin Lynch
