Did you know swimming is one of the most gentle forms of exercise for those living with MSK conditions? 🏊‍♀️

The weightlessness of being in water helps to support the body, with significantly reduced straight on joints and muscles.

If you're living with MSK conditions and are looking to get into swimming, make sure you talk to your GP first. ❤️
