5 Health Benefits of Swimming
It may be cool and rainy today but the temps will warm up again and our pools are opening at all of our properties! Swimming isn’t only fun and refreshing, there are also many health benefits! Read on to learn how you can improve your health by taking a dip in your pool this summer.
1. The pool provides an ideal place to work stiff muscles and sore joints. If you are someone who suffers from arthritis, using the pool is very beneficial!
2. Looking to tone up? Swimming is a great way to increase muscular strength and muscle tone.
3. Yoga isn’t the only thing that can make your body more flexible. Swimming puts the body through a broad range of motion that helps joints and ligaments stay loose and flexible.
4. Since swimming is considered an aerobic exercise, it’s a fun way to get your cardio in and also work the body’s most important muscle…the heart!
5. Jumping into a refreshing pool can allow our bodies to release endorphins which make us happy and ultimately reduces stress!
