Why is swimming so good for you?
Swimming allows you to let go and expel the nervous tensions accumulated throughout the day. In the water, the body relaxes. Bad fatigue becomes good fatigue. Your lungs are fully inflated and your airways have never been so clear. You are less sick.
Regular swimming will help you feel better about your body. You gainez, muscle and refine. Your muscles are coming back to life, hello firm buttocks (thanks to the beating of the legs)! You gain in lightness and strength and your back is not unhappy about it. Goodbye pain!
In addition, the calmness of the pool creates an incredible disconnection, a bubble that chases away worries.
You can swim as much as you want, no restrictions! Swimming is a gentle sport thanks to the buoyant and gliding powers of water. In practice, learning to swim is done at a rate of 3 to 4 sessions per month over 6 months to 1 year minimum, depending on the goals of the swimmer. Once you have learned to swim and are comfortable in the water, you can enjoy the pleasures of the water for the rest of your life!
