Setting up more swimming pools
Wednesday, 13 September 2023
Swimming is an effective physical exercise. But unfortunately Dhaka city does not have facilities that can allow people to stretch themselves in water and have the benefit of this physical exercise regularly.
Swimming is a total body workout. When we are in the water, we only feel 10 per cent of our total body weight. It is a great way to burn our calories. It is also an ultimate aerobic exercise, which should be included in our everyday routine. It is great to have a fun activity like swimming, stay fit and live a better life. But for this, we need adequate swimming pools in our neighbourhoods. The city corporations should build a few.
