As most of us know, swimming is an incredible sport to improve fitness at all ages, however, many of us have not been fortunate enough to learn or find the time until our later years.
Swimming has no age barrier, you can learn to swim at any age with the right support and guidance. Whilst hosting many health benefits, swimming is a sport that is a life skill and can be used at any moment to save your life or someone else’s.
Some of the many benefits of swimming include:
Cardiovascular Health
Swimming is an amazing aerobic sport that helps to improve cardiovascular fitness, strengthen the heart and increase lung capacity.
Improved Circulation
Swimming significantly boosts circulation due to the water pressure exerted on the body during movement.
Joint Pressure Relief
Being in water takes the pressure off the joints, providing a low-impact environment ideal for those with arthritis or joint pain. The buoyancy of the water supports the body, reducing strain and allowing for a greater range of motion with less discomfort.
Stress Relief
Stress can have a tremendous effect on our overall mental and physical health. Like any form of exercise, swimming can help to reduce stress levels and promote relaxation due to the release of endorphins and lowering cortisol levels. Swimming allows a break from our busy schedules and lives that can wreak havoc on our physical well-being as a result.
