Swimming is not only a sport but also a "medicine" for both body and mind!
Did you know that in just one hour of swimming, the body can activate more than 600 muscles at the same time?
According to National Geographic, swimming not only increases endurance, supports the cardiovascular system, but also improves memory, reduces stress and improves mood more effectively than meditation.
Swimming is a low-impact exercise on the joints but activates most of the large muscle groups, helping to increase strength, flexibility and better joints without causing damage like high-impact sports.
It brings great benefits to the cardiovascular and respiratory systems: increasing blood circulation, improving lung capacity, reducing blood pressure and inflammation.
Swimming helps increase calorie burning and metabolism: depending on the level and style of swimming, one hour can burn hundreds of calories.
It also benefits mental health: moving in the water at a steady rhythm helps release serotonin and dopamine, reducing stress, improving mood, sleep and brain function.
Swimming is suitable for all ages and physical conditions, including those with joint problems or recovering from illness, thanks to the supportive nature of the water environment.
Whether you are looking for strength, endurance or overall fitness, swimming offers a unique combination of mind and body that is enough to be considered one of the most “optimal” workouts available.
