Gilbert, AZ
In this day and age there are so many exercise activities to choose from; yoga, pilates, running and biking- the options are endless! But have you ever considered swimming? As one of Gilbert, AZ’s top choices for adult swimming lessons, British Swim School East Valley knows you can benefit from pool time in a variety of ways, including the following:
Weight Loss
If your goal is to lose weight, you definitely want a form of exercise that will burn a lot of calories without damaging your muscles or joints. Swimming is the perfect option because it burns tons of calories due to the fact that you work literally every muscle in your body. At the same time, it’s a low-impact form of exercise, so it won’t damage joints or muscles. In fact, because the pool supports 90% of your body weight, it can even offer you relief from chronic pain.
Mental Health
At British Swim School East Valley, we know first hand that swimming lessons for adults aren’t just great for your physical health; they’re great for your mental health too! The pool is one of the few places where adults can unplug from all technological devices and relax. Whether you’re simply floating or swimming laps, swimming is proven to release tension and stress.
Increased Muscle Strength
Although the water takes pressure off your joints and muscles, you still have to push more, pull harder, and kick stronger to keep moving. This is a great form of resistance training and as a result, you will gradually build muscle mass, strength and endurance.
Improved Cardiovascular Health
Swimming lessons can also lead to improved cardiovascular health! The constant movement and resistance training is proven to lower your blood pressure and heart rate, while also improving lung efficiency. On top of that, swimming also boosts blood flow and oxygen supply throughout your body.
Improved Balance and Flexibility
Are you pretty clumsy? Swimming lessons can also help with that! Swimming forces you to constantly reach, stretch and push in order to remain mobile. This greatly helps improve flexibility without damaging or stressing muscles. Swimming also forces you to engage your core muscles, which enhances balance and control.
