Affects on Brain from Swimming?

Dear Madeline

I have no idea if this is going to reach you. My daughter participated for the first time in the regional science fair in Gauteng,

South Africa the past weekend. She got a bronze medal in the category grades 5 to 7. She is in grade 5.

Thanks for your ideas etc. because we certainly used it. She is now planning for the next science fair. We want to do something on the influence of exercise (like swimming) on brain capacity. (E.g. ability to remember etc). Do you know about any books I can order in this regard? It is rather difficult to get hold of literature here and there are many books on sale but you do not know whether it will really suit your need.Thanks again.

Elbie

Response: Hi Eblie!

Thank you for sharing your daughter’s achievement.

Will you enter her project in our contest? The contest will be posted on Sept 15 and you will receive a notice. Or you can contribute this one and then enter the new one. As far as books are concerned, I really don’t know a specific one. Suggest you search the term, neuroscience swimming, swimming effect on brain, effect of exercise on brain in Google. 

You can also go to Amazon.com and see if they have any books. 

Does anyone else have any resources for Elbie? Madeline
