3(obvious) reasons: Swimming is the perfect form of exercise for everyone!
1. Swimming quickly becomes YOUR favorite form of exercise!
There are already many who use swimming as their weekly form of exercise. And there are quite a few different reasons for that. Whether you can swim or not, are thin or thick and are old or young, a regular trip to the swimming pool can mean that your muscles are strengthened, your breathing is regulated, you get better mental relaxation and balance and your posture and agility improve. All at the same time. As an added bonus, you achieve all these things completely without straining your joints and knees, because the water carries your weight, such as. jogging and running otherwise do with lifeguard training near me.
In addition, there is another great advantage. Swimming also strengthens your circulation and heart. Because by swimming regularly, you also prevent the possibility of getting cardiovascular disease. Swimming in particular is good for prevention, because you can easily and in no time get your heart rate high. Do you remember e.g. swimming lessons from primary school? There you were really breathless after just a few lanes. And it’s actually not bad, it’s really good for the heart as well as your circulation in the body.
2. It costs a blade of grass to get started
As a swimmer, you need almost nothing. With a pair of swimming trunks / swimsuit and a pair of glasses, you are really well on your way.
The swimming trunks and swimsuit are almost self-described as a swimmer – the same as running shoes are for a runner. And just like in the running market, there are all sorts of different kinds in all sorts of colors, patterns, sizes and lengths.
As an exercise swimmer, it is not particularly important which swimsuit or swimming trunks you have – but we have here at watery.dk made a test with swimming trunks here (LINK) and swimming trunks here (LINK). They just have to be relatively firm, and not be sloppy, then they actually sit perfectly (PS: if you want to make it a little harder and challenge yourself a little, then you could with swimming trunks choose to swim with the loosely hanging. It does it a little harder). And if any ladies should be in doubt, then you can well swim with a bikini if you want this. That is not a problem. Such a pair of swimming trunks or bathing suits usually costs no more than DKK 300.
In addition, I would recommend that you get a pair of goggles. It is not necessary as the swimming trunks / swimsuit is, but I even thought it is decidedly uncomfortable to swim without. Even if you intend to swim with your head above the water. It’s just really annoying that you occasionally get water splashes in your eyes – it almost makes you have to just stop and “dry” your eyes. Therefore, I really thought one should get a pair of goggles. See vet. our test of the best goggles. (link)
That way, for less than 500 kroner, you can get off to a good start with exercise swimming. Much cheaper than many other forms of exercise.
If you want a little more equipment, or have found out that swimming is really fun, then you can also invest in a swimming cap , a pair of flippers and a plate .
3. You can not do anything wrong when swimming.
I know the uncertainty well: “What do the others not think about my swimming style”, “Which course should I now lie on, which course suits my level?” and “How to act on such a trajectory?”. These are all questions that many ask themselves before jumping into the swimming pool. And that’s pretty normal.
There are no definite answers to such some questions, for everything is okay. In swimming you can not do anything wrong. Nothing. Everyone swims the different styles in different ways and thus there is nothing wrong in how to swim.
Another very common question is which lane to go on. Often in the swimming pools around Denmark, the courts are full (especially in the morning from 6: 00-7: 30 and the same in the afternoon) with exercisers. Here it is just a matter of getting an overview of the exercise swimmers. Who swims fast, who swims less fast. And then you just have to find the path you fit in best. Then there should be no problems. However, this is not a requirement, but just good advice. You really have to lie down on all the tracks. In general it’s just about taking each other into account – then everyone gets a good swimming experience 🙂
