The Health Benefits of Swimming: Why Water Exercise Works
It’s no secret—swimming is great for both physical and mental health. The CDC highlights several reasons to make water-based exercise part of your routine:
Arthritis Relief
Water’s buoyancy reduces joint stress, allowing people with arthritis to move more freely without worsening symptoms.
Mental Health Boost
Swimming improves mood for both men and women. For those with fibromyalgia, warm-water exercise can decrease anxiety and depression while enhancing overall well-being.
Support for Older Adults
Water workouts help older adults maintain mobility, reduce disability, and improve quality of life. They also support bone health in post-menopausal women.
Universal Benefits
From low-impact cardio to stress relief, water-based exercise offers advantages for everyone. Always practice safe swimming habits—stay hydrated, use proper gear, and follow pool hygiene guidelines.
