A3-21) Fat people and Swimming
Swimming is a good exercise, particularly for large folks and
pregnant women. The water supports the bodyweight gently, and
provides a resistance for working all sorts of muscle groups.
Also, you don't get all hot and sweaty!
If you have problems getting out of your own pool, you can get
weighted plastic steps, or arrange a ramp to help.
Personally, I recommend swimming nude in the sea off a nudist beach
with golden sands and deep blue-green sea, for a truly wonderful
experience.
