Your Tucson swimming pool has many benefits to offer you and your family. Swimming is a great low-impact activity that improves strength, endurance, and vigor. Studies have shown that just 20 minutes of swimming a few days a week can help you look and feel younger and healthier so you can enjoy a more active lifestyle and improved quality of life.
Improved Cardiovascular Function
The regular physical activity provided by swimming will improve your heart’s ability to pump blood through your body. Improved cardiovascular function lowers your risk for heart disease, which is the leading cause of death in the United States. As you build up your cardiovascular endurance, you’ll also find that non-swimming activities such as walking, climbing stairs, and even simple cleaning tasks will be easier.
Less Joint and Muscle Pain
If you have pre-existing medical conditions such as arthritis or obesity, it can be difficult to find a low-impact activity that provides health benefits without taxing your joints. Swimming is an ideal activity that everyone can enjoy, even those who suffer from muscle and joint pain. Because your body is largely supported by the water when you swim, your joints and muscles can be worked without pain. Heated pools help to relax stiff muscles and joints so you can enjoy less pain during and after your swimming workout.
Weight Maintenance
Being overweight can drastically increase your risk for many serious health concerns, including diabetes, stroke, heart attacks, and high blood pressure. Swimming provides a great calorie-burning workout that helps your body to lose or maintain weight for better health. For every ten minutes you spend in the pool, you will burn an average of 60 calories to help balance your calorie intake and output for a healthy weight.
