The spring equinox has passed, with the drizzling rain coming, the wind becomes soft, the air reveals a little fresh, the scenery becomes more and more beautiful. It can be seen that the spring days are coming, and everything begins to wake up from its sleep, and everything becomes so beautiful.
“If life is a river that takes you to the place of your dreams, then swimming is an inescapable myth.” So says ABC award-winning journalist and author Lynne Cher in her book, Better to Swim. Those beautiful things about swimming are the real waves in the river of our life… Do you remember your “love affair” with the pool? It can change your body, your mind and your whole life.
1. Everyone has their own water life
Swimming pool is a small world, where you can also see the life, everyone has their own part of the water life.
Perhaps you have just begun to learn to swim, and everything about the pool is fresh and at a loss. In addition to hard training, you will quietly observe how the swimmers gallop freely, how to enter the water, stretch, pump, breathe, turn, feel and calculate the frequency of each change.
In the process of watching, you may often be amused by the clumsiness and effort of your imitation, but it does not matter, these interesting jokes are the cornerstone of your future swimming skills growth.
Perhaps you are already the “swimming pool flying fish” in the eyes of everyone, as a skilled swimmer, to the pool to see beautiful women? NO, the fun of swimming is more important to you than looking at beautiful women!
You fully enjoy the freedom of the water, but also suffer the embarrassment of being watched by others. With every rise and fall of the water, you can feel the adoring eyes around you, and even some fans will come directly to you for swimming tips.
Maybe, you just come to release pressure in the water, you are not an avid swimmer, in the water, you are used to daze, silence or thinking, but the difference is that in the pool, we become easier to quiet, but also easier to laugh…
2. Make your body look younger — it’s not just about getting in shape and losing fat
We love swimming pools, of course, because they also have many health benefits.
Why when it comes to weight loss, swimming is always respected as a sport, because the heat conduction coefficient of water is 26 times greater than that of air, that is, at the same temperature, the human body loses heat in water more than 20 times faster than in air, which can effectively consume heat. People have witnessed the symmetrical muscles and smooth curves brought by swimming to the body. But even more important are the benefits to the deep bones and circulatory system of the body. Swimming makes skeletal muscles more elastic, but also promotes the secretion of lubrication fluid in joint cavities, reduces friction between bones, and enhances bone vitality; When swimming, the muscle tissue of the ventricle is strengthened, the capacity of the heart chamber is gradually increased, the entire blood circulation system can be improved, and the overall metabolic rate of the human body can be improved, so long-term swimmers will look younger than their peers.
The magic of swimming doesn’t stop there… Australian swimmer Annette Kellerman had to wear a heavy iron bracelet on her leg when she was a child because of a bone lesion, which caused her body to be unable to be as beautiful as other teenage girls, but she changed her body through swimming and gradually transformed into a mermaid, and also starred in a movie in the future.
So many people all over the world love swimming, in addition to the physical benefits, but also because it brings indescribably good feelings to the mind.
3, Let the mind more free – “In the water, you have neither weight nor age.”
Speaking of their love for swimming, many enthusiasts will share their stories of spiritual growth. In the water, you gain not only relaxation, but also friendship and courage…
“Suddenly, a huge burden became weightless,” enthused one young mother, recalling the pleasure of swimming in the Caribbean when she was five months pregnant. Once suffering from prenatal depression, she released all her stress in the pool, slowly merging with the light and pure water. She gradually recovered from her prenatal depression by swimming regularly.
A middle-aged swimmer wrote in his diary: “Swimming has also brought me friends and friendships… Some people we may meet every day, but never say a word, but our presence and persistence are giving each other encouragement and appreciation; We also had dinner with some of our pool friends, talked about swimming, talked about life, and of course, the kids. Occasionally we communicate online and provide each other with information on swimming skills.”
“In the same pool of water, this pool of water also narrowed the distance between us, chat, talk, no utility, no purpose, just for everyone like to swim……”
This is the power of swimming to bring people closer together. During the epidemic, everyone exercise and swim happily!
