Swimming has always been considered as a basic life skill. This could be why swimming is one of the most popular extra-curricular activities that us parents want our children to enroll in. For me, it is mainly because our country is surrounded by bodies of water and we want to be able to equip ourselves and our kids the ability to survive if the need arises. Not to mention, swimming is a good recreational activity too.
But more than it being a good recreational activity, there are also other advantages that can be taken away from being a good swimmer. Here are some of the benefits of learning how to swim and why you and your kids should enroll in a good swimming school.
1. Health benefits
Swimming is a good cardiovascular exercise. More than it being a low-impact workout, it helps burn fats in the right areas of the whole body. It also helps one develop strong bones and tones your muscles. Swimming is a good outlet to release stress and relieve tension from the body.
2. Self-Confidence
Being an able swimmer even if you're not in the olympic levels give ones self-confidence a big boost. Swimmers usually have a more developed physique and toned body, more than the physical benefits, it also helps increase your positive mental outlook.
3. Useful in Saving Lives
Yes, being confident in the water makes you braver. In times of emergencies, your abilities can help you save someone's life. Again, since our country is surrounded mostly by bodies of water, the ability to take on whatever challenges you encounter in the water is an added life skill.
4. Supports Mental Health
Swimming, like any workout that helps produce endorphins, helps in fighting stress, anxiety, and depression. The water has an uncanny ability to produce calming effects that have been found to help a person relax and have peace of mind.
5. Easy to Learn/Adapt
For adults and most especially children, swimming is a skill that easy to learn. Being in the right swimming school supervised by a skilled trainer will make your learning easier. One of the premier swimming schools in the country, Bert Lozada Swim School offers different level of courses for everyone. Established in 1956, this school guarantees to make you a pro in no time.
But of course, it is recommended that we have our children acquire the ability to swim at a very young age. This is where Lozada offers different programs like:
My Baby and Me Program
