You don’t have to be a triathlete to enjoy the many health benefits offered through swimming. In fact, at British Swim School Austin – San Marco’s choice for adult swimming lessons – we know no matter your age or stage in life, there are many positive ways swimming can impact your mind and body. Here’s a look at a few of them:
Manage your weight. Looking for an exercise that can help you burn calories without damaging your joints? Our adult swimming lessons are the perfect option. You’re using your entire body – from your legs and core to your arms and shoulders – so you’re torching calories while in the pool. Not only that but because water supports around 90% of your weight, you’re not putting damaging stress on injured or vulnerable areas of your body.
Reduce tension and anxiety. Study after study shows that swimming does more than help your physical health, but can impact your mental health, too. Whether you’re swimming a few gentle breaststrokes, learning to float in adult swimming lessons, or engaged in hardcore butterfly, water has a calming effect on the mind. In fact, those who swim regularly report that it helps release tension and stress.
Strengthens muscles and improves cardiovascular health. When you’re in one of our pools in San Marcos or Austin, you’re swimming against a constant stream of resistance, which makes you work harder. This, in turn, helps to boost muscle mass and strength, as well as endurance. In addition to being a great form of strength training, adult swimming lessons at our pools in San Marcos and Austin can also enhance your cardiovascular fitness and lower cholesterol levels.
Helps with sleep. After a long day, you might find you have trouble falling asleep. But regular swimming can actually improve your sleep patterns. In fact, according to a poll by the National Sleep Foundation, those who engage in vigorous activity – like swimming – sleep better, and avoid problems with insomnia or waking up too early.
