Imperial Pools on The Perks of Swimming: physical and mental benefits

Feb. 12, 2013 - PRLog -- (http://imperialpools.com): It’s true that the benefits of using a spa are well-known. They range from loosening up your tight muscles to releasing you from those rough headaches. Imperial Pools has posted about these benefits before; however, what about the benefits of swimming?

It turns out that a vast array of benefits can come to you from swimming. For example, while a spa relieves headaches through heated water, which opens up capillaries and relieves pressure, swimming will relieve you through different means: synchronized breathing, soothing aquatic sounds,  and an enveloping sense of weightlessness. Moreover, getting rid of a headache isn’t the only thing that a simple swim will help you with. Swimming actually aids you in appetite control, flexibility, controlling asthma, and lowering your cholesterol to name a just few more benefits.

There’s a myth out there that owning a pool is overly expensive and completely overbearing when it comes to maintenance. The fact is simple: pools are now fully attainable and easily manageable for millions of people. With well over 30% of folks in the U.S. and Canada owning a pool, close to a third of us can now enjoy the benefits of swimming in a backyard pool!

Of course, owning a pool and enjoying it to the full aren’t always the same thing, unfortunately. So keep in mind all these countless benefits of swimming. All too often pool owners underestimate the true value of owning a pool, so don’t forget about the better health, invigorating fitness, and psychological peace that is yours through swimming!
