Swimming and active living to support heart health and stronger communities
Health Creation at Medicare Foundation is centred on swimming and overcoming cardiovascular disease. Regular swimming builds stamina, supports healthy blood pressure and is gentle on joints — making it an ideal activity for people of many ages and fitness levels.
We encourage communities to take up swimming and related active lifestyles alongside our wider programmes, so more people can protect their heart health and feel stronger day to day.
Promote swimming as accessible exercise that strengthens the heart and supports long-term cardiovascular wellbeing.
Education and encouragement to help people understand risk factors and take positive steps for heart health.
Linking people into local opportunities, partners and programmes that make staying active easier and more enjoyable.
