7 reasons to sign up for swimming lessons

1. Swimming moves all the muscles of the body, especially if you learn to do it professionally, so you can tone arms, legs and abs with a few movements, instead of having to work a whole plan of specific exercises.

2. Reduces stress and anxiety. When you swim in the pool, your brain releases endorphins, the feel-good hormone. All those endorphins create a feeling of well-being and relaxation. By swimming regularly for prolonged periods of time, the brain undergoes hippocampal neurogenesis, a process that regenerates new brain cells in areas atrophied by long periods of stress. This is just one of the reasons why this aerobic exercise is one of the best for combating depression, anxiety and stress.

3.    Swimming can help you live longer. We all want to live a full and healthy life, right? What if we told you that swimmers tend to have a 50% lower mortality rate than other athletes, such as runners, walkers or those who don't exercise at all? And the results are for men and women of all ages.

4.    You will be able to practice several styles. Water workouts are very diverse, from just kicking to butterfly swimming. So you don't have to worry about doing it a certain way, you can try it until you find the one that works for you and works for your body.

5.    Swimming provides unparalleled cardiovascular conditioning, which is proven to help reduce the likelihood of developing heart disease among swimmers. In itself, it improves overall fitness.

6.    Because swimming requires breathing control, lung capacity improves over time. That is why it is one of the most recommended exercises for people who suffer from asthma, if this is your case, you will feel better.

7.    It has been proven that people who swim constantly and until they manage to raise their heart rate manage to burn enough calories to lose weight, reveals Jane Moore, a medical expert in swimming. So if you do it too, you're sure to get a great body.
