Getting a workout in the pool has many benefits for many different people. You can keep cool and burn calories at the same time!
We often think of swimming as a recreational activity this time of year, but if you are looking for something to shake up your normal exercise routine, look no further than the nearest available pool. Pool workouts are excellent for young athletes, older adults, those with arthritis, pregnant women or anyone who has had a recent injury that makes weight-bearing exercise difficult or uncomfortable. The occasional pool workout is also a great break from your normal routine and can help your body to recover from a hard workout the day before while still getting some cardiovascular training in.

Norristown Community Policing and the Norristown Town Watch planned one heck of a party for Norristown's celebration of National Night Out last night at the Carver Community Center. The night is a national program to encourage communities to come together to have a night out against crime. The community enjoyed free swimming, food, dancing, a karate demonstration and lots of information tables with giveaways.

With the National Weather Service issuing a heat advisory for our area, it's more important than ever to find ways to cool off during the day. To combat today's temperatures in the mid-90s, some Norristown youngsters are keeping cool in the George Washington Carver Community Center's pool. Older folks, children and pets are especially vulnerable in this heat, so be sure to check on friends and relatives today, and make sure they're safe.

Occasionally the fine men of the Norristown Fire Department get a break from running into burning buildings and have a chance to use their equipment for something a little more enjoyable – filling up the community pool at the Gearge Washington Carver Community Center. Firemen from Montgomery Hose and Fire Co. drew the plum assignment last week and took a moment to talk to Norristown Patch about it.
