Swimming
can be an ideal aerobic workout that helps you burn calories and improve your
health. Whether you’re swimming in a pool, participating in a water aerobics
class at the local gym or going
for a dip (ныряние, погружение) in the lake, you can benefit from
this exercise.
If
you have joint or muscle (суставная или мышечная боль) pain, swimming is one of the safest forms of exercise
you can do because it’s extremely low impact (с малой ударной нагрузкой). The water helps support your
body, which can make it easier to move.
But swimming also poses some safety risks. Never swim alone and avoid
taking on new challenges, such as swimming in the ocean, when there’s not a
lifeguard present and when you don’t have a life jacket. Neighborhood and
university pools frequently offer discounted memberships and group classes,
making them highly practical for people on a budget and those new to swimming.
