Why You Should Be Swimming Everyday

Besides being just plain fun, it’s well known that swimming is a great way to stay in shape. It’s suitable for all ages and abilities and is a total body workout. Swimming improves both strength and flexibility with little to no impact on joints.

But what if you don’t have the room or budget for a lap pool? A swim spa is your answer! They offer an “endless” pool with a continuous stream of water. That means you can swim in place for as long as you want. But more than just a place to swim, the current of a swim spa offers resistance for strength training and they can be fitted with all kinds of accessories to vary your workout. Plus, swim spas can be used just like a hot tub. So it’s really two incredible health solutions in one.

These are just a few of the reasons a swim spa is a smart investment in your health and your future. (Oh, and they’re just a ton of fun too!)

 

Swimming is Good for the Heart

All exercise is good for the heart, but swimming provides high intensity with low impact. That means all the benefits of jogging without the pounding on knees and ankles. Swimming can lower blood pressure, help with cholesterol, and increase your metabolism – all things that are great for heart health!

 

Swimming Reduces Stress

Swimming helps you relax in many ways. First of all, simply being in the water can help daily stresses float away. Swimming also helps muscles to relax and can ease tension in the body. Stiff necks and tight shoulders will loosen up from just a short time in the water. On top of that, many people find the rhythmic movement of swimming to be a meditative experience.

 

 

Swimming is Good for the Lungs

Swimming is a terrific aerobic exercise. It increases lung capacity while training your body to use oxygen more efficiently. Breathe easier by making swimming part of your fitness routine.

 

Swimming is Good for Pain Relief

Buoyancy in the water means less pressure on bones and joints and swimming improves flexibility and strengthens the muscles that support them. Being in the water also reduces pressure on the spine and can help with lower back pain. For low-impact fitness with a high impact on pain relief, swimming is a great choice.
