Health benefits of swimming

Swimming is a great workout because you need to move your whole body against the resistance of the water.

Swimming is a good all-round activity because it:

keeps your heart rate up but takes some of the impact stress off your body

builds endurance, muscle strength and cardiovascular fitness

helps you maintain a healthy weight, healthy heart and lungs

tones muscles and builds strength

provides an all-over body workout, as nearly all of your muscles are used during swimming.

Other benefits of swimming

Swimming has many other benefits including:

being a relaxing and peaceful form of exercise
alleviating stress

improving coordination, balance and posture
improving flexibility

providing good low-impact therapy for some injuries and conditions

providing a pleasant way to cool down on a hot day

being available in many places – you can swim in swimming pools, beaches, lakes, dams and rivers. Make sure that the environment you choose to swim in is safe.

Masters swimming is the best! 🎥 by @rowdypenguins #mastersswimmer #mastersswimming #usmastersswimming #usms

After throwing away some of my daughter’s athletic awards the other day I pondered why it becomes easier to get rid of awards. This statement my thoughts.

The following is the philosophy of Charles Schulz, the creator of the 'Peanuts' comic strip.

You don't have to actually answer the questions. Just ponder on them. Just read it straight through, and you'll get the point.

1. Name the five wealthiest people in the world.

2. Name the last five Heisman trophy winners.

3. Name the last five winners of the Miss America pageant.

4. Name ten people who have won the Nobel or Pulitzer Prize.

5. Name the last half dozen Academy Award winners for best actor and actress.

6. Name the last decade's worth of World Series winners.

How did you do?

The point is, none of us remember the headliners of yesterday.

These are no second-rate achievers.

They are the best in their fields.

But the applause dies.

Awards tarnish ...

Achievements are forgotten.

Accolades and certificates are buried with their owners.

Here's another quiz. See how you do on this one:

1. List a few teachers who aided your journey through school.

2. Name three friends who have helped you through a difficult time.

3. Name five people who have taught you something worthwhile.

4. Think of a few people who have made you feel appreciated and special.

5. Think of five people you enjoy spending time with.

Easier?

The lesson:

The people who make a difference in your life are not the ones with the most credentials, the most money ... or the most awards. They simply are the ones who care the most.

5 Reasons Why 'Casual' Masters Swimming is Important Masters swimming is a great outlet for individuals to maintain their passion and fitness. But it doesn't always have to be about performance.
