Lifeguard class and swimming is more than just cooling off in the summer. It has healing properties for your body and mind! And research proves it!
7 benefits that lifeguard swimming can offer you according to research:
1 . Mindfulness: it is impossible to swim in nature either in summer or winter and think about anything other than exactly what you are doing at that moment.
2 . Pain relief: Stress often creates physical pain in the shoulder, back, neck. Water helps to reduce inflammation and relax the muscle.
3 . Depression: One of the subjects of the research was whether swimming has a positive effect on the fight against depression. 2,000 people who swim in the sea in winter and summer were asked and the overwhelming percentage of them (82%) answered that it has helped them manage depression and anxiety.
4 . Stress: When you swim - especially in cold water - you train your body to handle shock and discomfort through repeated immersions, so you gradually learn to better handle crises in your daily life!
5 . Community: if you make swimming a winter habit, you'll find there's a community of people doing the exact same thing! This helps you realize that you are not alone, enjoy the friendly atmosphere and feel euphoric. It will also make you look forward to next time.
6 . You gain confidence: A major stress factor stems from a lack of self-confidence in relation to our bodies. After a while, you stop caring if other people will judge you in the sea when you go swimming and you feel comfortable and proud in your body!
7. Joy: Think of the children at the beach, in the bath, wherever there is water, they love it. Water for them means joy every time. This can be true for us too, if we just allow it!
