STAN THE MAN WAS A FAN OF SWIMMING
You can learn how to be a great swimmer by taking lessons at British Swim School, and maybe you will end up being a great baseball player too!
Stan Musial said. “Hitting is like swimming. Once you learn the stroke, you never forget it.” And he was one of the greatest Cardinal players, winning seven National League batting titles and leading the league in hits six times.
Many baseball players (and other athletes) swim to keep in shape. They recognize the following benefits.
1) Buoyancy and low-impact help prevent and rehabilitate injuries. Workouts in the pool alternating with regular training help an athlete’s range of motion and improve overall fitness.
2) Swimming requires incredible cardiovascular endurance. Other cardio sports like running and cycling create joint stress from high-impact movements or are geared more toward the lower body.
3) Swimming increases lung capacity
4) Swimming promotes full body strength improving core strength and range of motion.
5) For pitchers swimming is one of the best ways to build shoulder strength, endurance and stability.
