Keep Calm and Just ………

There’s nothing like jumping into a swimming pool on hot day for a fun refresher. But there’s a lot more to swimming than being a hot-weather reprieve. It’s also a year-round, lifelong sport that provides physical and emotional benefits.
Swimming is a good means of aerobic activity, which has been shown to decrease the risk of chronic illness and can help alleviate symptoms of chronic illness such as arthritic pain, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Swimmers have about half the risk of death as inactive people and some people not only enjoy water-based activities more than other types of exercise but can workout longer while in the water.
There’s more. Swimming can improve mood, decrease anxiety and even enhance family connections. It also can benefit quality of life, especially in older adults, as it can lessen disability while boosting bone health.
