One of Britian’s most successful Olympic and commonwealth swimmers, Karen Pickering MBE, visited Ainslie Park Leisure Centre on Friday to launch the new Zoggs swim4fitness programme in Edinburgh to improve the capital’s fitness.

Karen hosted a poolside workshop with members of the public to show that by varying their pool programme, adapting their swimming technique and making a few changes to their lifestyle, a real change can be made to their health and overall level of fitness.

Swim4Fitness™ is a swimming programme to suit all lifestyles, whether swimming for fun, fitness or sport. It not only gives access to a vast selection of programmes but also offers a full support package including free membership to swim4fitness online.

Karen Pickering said: “I’m delighted to be helping people get more out of their swimming activity with Swim4Fitness™. Zoggs supports my beliefs that swimming is core to a healthy lifestyle.”
