Swimming is an excellent way to work your entire body and cardiovascular system.
One hour of swimming burns almost as many calories as running, without all the impact on your bones and joints.
Swimming not only provides an aerobic workout, but the resistance provided by the water builds muscle, which helps with blood sugar control.
Other research has shown that swimming and water exercise programs can help people lower blood pressure too. 🏊♀️🏊

SEQ Rugby 7s School Girls Competition Friday Wrap
SEQ Rugby 7s School Girls Competition Friday Wrap
A big effort from our girls teams, representing 32 Canterbury students, at the South-East Queensland Rugby 7s School Girls Competition, held at the Redcliffe Rugby Union Club last Friday.
Against a very strong and huge regional field of Brisbane, Logan and Gold Coast area schools, our U13, U15 and U18 girls teams all finished in third place!
We were the only SEQ independent school to jag top three finishes in every age group, which shows how quickly our Rugby 7s Academy is taking shape, and the benefit of our Year 9 and 10 curriculum subject.
Canterbury player Fleur Ginn (pictured) was even named the U15 Player of the Tournament.
Our goal is to be the top independent school in SEQ for Girls Rugby 7s.
Great job everybody!
