Swimming in thermal water – perfect harmony of body and mind

Why swimming

In water, the joints are relieved of stress and the muscles work without unnecessary strain, which allows exercise even for those with spine or joint problems. Swimming strengthens the cardiovascular system, improves breathing capacity, and contributes to better posture.
