The summer is approaching, and once again, you’ll see everyone either visiting public swimming pools or getting their swimming pools at home renovated. Interestingly, according to statistics, there are 10.4 million residential and 309,000 public swimming pools in the country. This blog post will discuss the benefits of swimming regularly.

Weight Loss

Do you know that swimming is one the most effective ways to lose weight? Research shows that swimming is an ideal way to burn your excess daily calories and trigger weight loss. An average 160-pound person can potentially burn at least 423 calories by swimming for an hour at a moderate pace. If the same person swims a little faster, they can burn 715 calories. The best part is that you don’t have to sweat and exhaust yourself while swimming, and it’s one of those workouts that you’ll enjoy even on hot summer days.

Skincare

Many people might not be aware that regular swimming can significantly improve your skin as well. Swimming not only helps you get rid of subcutaneous fat but also detoxifies and cleans it. However, it’s important to make sure that you’re swimming in clean water and it’s free from any toxic material. Exposure to chlorine and other chemicals in the pool can often damage skin cells as well as cause allergies. To get the benefits of swimming for skin, make sure you’re properly cleaning and maintaining your pool. If the sunlight is too much, consider getting your pool covered with a shade as well.

Heart and Lungs

Doctors highly recommend swimming for heart and lung patients. There’s plenty of evidence to prove that swimming can improve your heart and lungs’ health because both these organs are actively involved in swimming. When you swim regularly, it trains your body to start using more oxygen in a more efficient manner and hence improves your lungs as well as your heart rate. The more intense your swimming sessions are, the better it’s going to be for your heart.
