Why swim as an adult?

Swimming has many benefits for adults, including:
  • Cardiovascular health: Swimming is an aerobic exercise that improves cardiovascular health by increasing your heart rate and strengthening your heart muscles. It can also reduce the risk of heart disease, type 2 diabetes, and strokes. 
  • Weight loss: Swimming can help you lose weight and fat in various areas of your body, including your belly. A 30-minute swim can burn over 200 calories. 
  • Muscle strength: Swimming is a total body workout that tones muscles and builds strength. 
  • Flexibility and coordination: Swimming can improve your flexibility and coordination. 
  • Stress reduction: Swimming can be a calming activity that reduces stress and anxiety. 
  • Low impact: Swimming is a low impact workout that's suitable for people of all fitness levels. 
To see results, you should try to swim consistently.  Beginners can start by swimming 2–3 times a week, while intermediate swimmers can increase to 3–5 times a week.  Advanced swimmers may swim up to 7 times a week
