Swimming and active living to support heart health and stronger communities

Swimming

Swimming & Heart Health

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.
