Most people know that swimming is good for your body. Many people also swim because it is very relaxing. It is also a very effective way to work on your condition and health. Below we list the benefits of swimming for your health with Lifeguard Training.



1. Don't suffer from injuries with swimming

With running and other sports you unfortunately sometimes have to deal with injuries. The advantage of swimming is that injuries almost never occur. And that's pretty simple, because you're just not likely to sprain an ankle or overload your joints in the water.

2. Relaxed feeling during and after swimming

Like many runners, swimmers also experience a relaxed feeling during swimming. You completely empty your head while swimming and you pay close attention to your breathing. Most people are also familiar with that rosy feeling after swimming and a hot (or cold) shower.

3. Swimming is affordable for many people Swimming

laps in a swimming pool is often cheaper than a subscription to an expensive gym or other sport. You don't have to buy expensive sportswear and shoes. All you need is a towel, slippers and comfortable swimwear.

4. Swimming can help you lose weight

Do you want to lose weight? Then swimming can help you with that. Keep in mind that swimming is an endurance sport, just like cycling and running. It takes a little longer with these sports before the fat burning starts. To lose weight by swimming, we recommend that you swim for an hour at least 3 times a week.

Sometimes there is no swimming pool nearby, or you cannot go to the swimming pool during the opening hours because of your work or household. In that case, a private pool in the garden or house can offer an alternative. Private swimming pools come in many different shapes and sizes, and nowadays also for every budget. The advantage is that you no longer have to leave the house and you can always swim when it suits you.
