Swimming is considered one of the most complete sports and exercising all our body and also does not require a high fitness on water, which helps us to move more easily. If your practice has not spread as much as other sports are mainly due to lack of facilities. But if we are lucky to enjoy an indoor swimming pool near our home, then it is the ideal time enfundarte cap and goggles and jump into the water.

Despite the belief of many people, swimming is not only recommended when we suffer some back pain, but is an excellent sport to keep our bodies strong and healthy. Javier Solas, top swimming coach and head of Todonatacion.com, said “peculiarities such as the absence of gravity not have impacts, scroll horizontally or temperature control, make people with serious mobility to not only make a sport, but also expand its possibilities.”

our whole body is in constant motion. Shoulders, arms, back, legs … each stroke is a physical exercise that strengthens the muscle and burn your stored fat. The first thing we see after a few days practicing swimming “is like our muscles become harder, a few weeks we noticed as physical capacity is constantly improving, climbing stairs or take a short career and we are not drowning occurs before” said Javier Solas.

If our intention is to lose a few kilos and friends are not very physical activity, swimming can be an excellent choice. Water makes us forget our weight, and positioned horizontally, improve blood circulation. The expert confirmed that “is the perfect activity to lose weight, since nearly everyone, a few weeks of practice, training can make a one-hour.” Water temperature is also another factor that makes us feel more comfortable, because if the pool is heated, its warmth will transmit calm and tranquility.

The first steps
time we have known the benefits it will bring swimming, it’s time to take the plunge and join our nearest center. It is at this point the following question arises: free swimming or classes with an instructor? If we have not played this game before, it is always recommended the second option, as confirmed by Solas: “It is always advisable to start with a teacher. Swimming is very healthy if done well, but we can bring bad postures or movements which may cause pain over time. ”

Like any other sport, we need a few weeks to get fluent in the pool and hold as long as possible. The idea is to go five days weekly, but at first we reduce it to three, trying to swim at least 40 minutes. If you do not put up much time, care must be taken at least increase it week by week, for example, at a rate of ten extra minutes. It is preferable to spend more time swimming to increase the number of days to go to the pool.

Ideal also for children
child in swimming is not only a very complete sport for adults, but is also highly recommended practice for children. First, because they identify the pool as a place of fun, and so do sports while enjoying their peers. In addition, they develop a warm and relaxing as the warm water, have less trouble sleeping at night. The practice also serves to increase your appetite and improve your balance, coordination and knowledge of space.

In regard to the best age to start, the personal trainer says that “if they are able, from 18 months or less. Swimming, focused on learning, from four years and to start on the competition, six or seven years. “So, perhaps now is the time to approach your child to the nearest swimming pool and start enjoying a healthy sport, full and fun. If you’re not a parent, you have no excuse; swimming is a valid activity for people of all ages, with or without mobility problems.

We will not discover anything new, if we talk about the benefits of swimming, but there’s still people who think that just has to play a sport or another, if I will not deny, lack of time is one of major problems, but we also have the opportunity to diversify our schedule in different sports, ie devote the week to go to room and spend two days by the pool.
