HEALTH & FITNESS<\/h2>\n
Splashing around in the pool like a dolphin definitely has its merits, but sometimes it helps to challenge yourself to a little something more. Luckily, if you’re living in our Taluswood Apartments in Mountlake Terrace, you have the opportunity to practice your swimming skills in our heated pool all year-round.<\/p>\n
BUTTERFLY<\/h2>\n
When you’re looking for a challenge, the butterfly is usually the first place to turn if you’re in the water. The movements of the arms don’t exactly come naturally, as you go up and over your head to propel yourself through the water. This stroke is generally accompanied by a butterfly kick, which is a rapid style of kicking rather than the longer, harder kicks you’ll need to practice for more conventional strokes like front crawl or breaststroke.<\/p>\n
BREASTSTROKE<\/h2>\n
The breaststroke is probably the one that comes the most naturally to you (besides doggy paddling), simply due to the intuitive movements that we all tend to do when in the water. It involves smoothing your arms out in front of you in an effort to push the water to the sides so you can move forward. It’s an excellent stroke if you’re hoping to keep your hair dry as your head doesn’t have to dip below the water.<\/p>\n
BACKSTROKE<\/h2>\n
When you want to spend more time staring at the big blue sky in our Mountlake Terrace apartments, the backstroke is an excellent way to work out your arms and legs while giving you the view you crave. Both the breaststroke and the backstroke have the potential to be extremely relaxing because both of them can be done at a leisurely pace without a lot of mental concentration. However, it can be a much more worthwhile experience when you try to perfect each muscle movement for maximum speed and utmost efficiency.<\/p>\n
