Personally I do not consider myself a very athletic person, when I was a kid I practiced several sports but usually I got bored and abandoned them. But when I started practicing swimming it was not the same, I really had a good time and I was training for 4 or 5 years.

It is a sport that I really recommend for many reasons, here I will explain some of them:

• You will work a lot of muscles at the same time

Swimming is an exercise that works large areas of our body, the muscles of the arms, legs, chest, back, neck, just to mention a few. Water offers resistance to muscular movements and this makes training more efficient, which is why it is highly recommended for people who do not have much time available and still want to exercise.

• Improve flexibility

That's right, it also improves the health of the tendons and joints. Each time we extend our arms and legs this allows us to have more flexibility and mobility of our body.

• Improves blood circulation

Among the muscles that exercise is also the heart due to the physical effort we make, this helps the health of the heart and avoid circulatory problems such as varicose veins

• Increase lung capacity

Oxygen is a key resource for aerobic exercises and because we are in the water it is necessary that our lungs take advantage of it efficiently, this goes hand in hand with the circulatory system. It is an excellent rehabilitation for smokers, in a few weeks they can see improvements.

• It's good for the brain

Although it sounds strange, it also helps the nervous system because the coordinated movements of different parts of the body require good motor and memory, for this new neuronal connections are created. It is highly recommended for the psychomotor development of children.

• Relieves back pain

The main cause of these annoying pains is poor posture. To swim properly we must keep our body properly aligned, for this reason we exercise the muscles of the back that carry the weight of our torso and head, which helps us to have a better posture.

• Help to lose weight

It is a low impact sport that allows you to burn a large number of calories, consistency with the help of a healthy diet will allow you to see incredible results.

• It's useful

In some situation of our life it may be necessary that we know how to swim properly and in a world composed of 70% more water, our life or that of someone else depends on it.

• It's fun and improves the mood

It is useless to tell you all the benefits of something if you get bored after the first week, but I assure you it will not be like that. Swimming as well as many physical activities releases endorphins in our body that improve our mood and reduce stress.

In addition to this, if you take it seriously and train really hard you will begin to notice changes in your physical appearance. What better motivation than that? you will look good and you will feel good.
