Swimming can confidently be called the most beneficial sport, as its balanced load positively impacts the entire body. To start with, simply being in contact with water relieves stress and emotional tension. Any type of swimming—whether breaststroke, freestyle, butterfly, or backstroke—harmoniously develops body muscles, strengthens the cardiovascular and respiratory systems.

Water works for your health – any movement in water is more challenging than in air due to water resistance, yet the load on joints and the skeleton as a whole is significantly lower. Thus, muscles and ligaments become more flexible and stronger during exercises, receiving a gentle load, while joints increase mobility without experiencing the compressive impact possible in a regular gym.
Another significant effect of swimming is the production of endorphins, the happiness hormones, which positively affect emotional well-being.
There is no body system that swimming negatively impacts. Both adults and children are recommended to visit swimming pools regularly. Kharkiv offers a wide range of pools where future champions were trained.
