8 Reasons Why Swimming Is So Good For You!
It’s great for shaping up.
Even a gentle swim can burn over 200 Kcal in half an hour and a fast front crawl can burn as many calories as an 8mph run.
It’s great for mental health.
Studies have shown swimming improves psychological well being. Female swimmers in particular have been shown to experience significantly less tension, depression and anger after exercising than before.
It’s a fun activity.
Leisure centres offer all types of sessions such as aqua aerobics or gym-style pool based programmes.
It’s the only sport that can save your life.
Over 400 people drown in the UK every year and it is the third most common cause of accidental death in children.
Swimming is for all.
No matter what your age, weight and physical ability, swimming and water-based activities can provide you with a workout.
Swimming is great for people with medical conditions.
Swimming is particularly good for pregnant women or those with disabilities, injuries or illnesses like arthritis because swimming can support up to 90% of the body’s weight in the water. Don’t forget always consult with a medical practioner before going swimming or doing any water based activity.
Swimming can offer the ultimate challenge.
No matter what level you are at, swimming can allow you to achive many goals or dreams! Whether that’s swimming the length of the channel in your local pool, taking the plunge at an open water even like a triathlon, or even be the next olympic gold medalist, if you learn to swim your on the right track, or should we say, in the right lane!
Swimming is a sport people can start at any age, and can do for life!
Swimming has no barrers when it comes to age restriction! There is even a category for people who want to race in events over the age of 100! So if you want to learn an activity that’s with you for life then Swimming is is the one for you!

“The water is your friend…..you don’t have to fight with water, just share the same spirit as the water, and it will help you move.”

Food for Thought
John Lennon quoted:
“If the Beatles or the Sixties had a message, it was learn to swim. Period. And once you learn to swim, swim. You make your own dream. That’s the Beatles’ story, isn’t it?”
We love this saying, however we decided to create our own one:
“We cannot make you into the Beatles but we will teach you to swim and have fun at the same time, that is not our dream, that is reality. Period!”.
