Did you know that swimming isn’t just for summer? You can enjoy it all year long! This non-weight-bearing activity is good for people of all ages, fitness, and skill levels. Of course, swimming is fun, but it’s also an activity that provides several health benefits, from bolstering cardiovascular health to enhancing mental clarity. Plus, it’s a great way to stay active when it’s too cold to play outside.
Here are some ways to swim all year:
The Great Outdoors. Depending on where you live and your tolerance for cold, you can swim in natural bodies of water most of autumn and spring.
Government Pools. Towns and counties have indoor pools open to residents for free or a small fee. Plus, swim lessons are often available.
Non-profit Organizations. Many social organizations offer pool access and swim classes at affordable rates.
Colleges and Universities. World-class facilities await alumni, employees, and, even, area residents at lots of colleges and universities. Prices are usually very low.
Hotels. Many hotels offer day passes and memberships to their wellness centers, where you can do laps and more. In addition to an indoor swimming pool, these areas usually boast saunas, steam rooms, and whirlpools.
The advantages of swimming should extend beyond a single season. Make swimming a year-round pursuit.
