Couch Swimming

Couch swimming is an exercise technique used primarily in water therapy or aquatic training. It involves mimicking swimming movements while seated or reclined on a stable surface, like a pool's edge or a floating device, without full immersion. This method allows individuals to perform aerobic and toning exercises safely, especially those with mobility issues or joint problems, by reducing impact and resistance. Essentially, it's a way to engage core muscles and improve cardiovascular fitness in water, providing the benefits of swimming exercise without needing to swim freely.
