Aqua Culture Statement on Benefits of Swimming in Winter

Swimming offers clear benefits for skill development and overall athletic performance. Continuing lessons through winter can strengthen the immune system and build resilience. A study of early swimming benefits found that children who attend swim lessons have a substantial competitive advantage across all developmental areas.

Swimming improves physical health by providing a full-body cardiovascular and respiratory workout. Swimming helps develop stamina, flexibility, and muscle strength. Swimming burns calories (500-650 per hour) and, because it’s low-impact, it’s a great full-body workout.

Swimming also benefits mental health and can help ward off winter blues. Swimming engages almost all of the senses: sight, sound, touch, and smell. It is one of the rare distractions from technology, and the “screenless” atmosphere alleviates stress and encourages relaxation and creativity. The gentle pressure and flowing water create a massage-like sensation that releases pent-up tension. Research shows that contact with water can trigger a flood of endorphins, making us happier, healthier, and less stressed. Another study found that water immersion increases blood flow to the brain. The result is improved general memory, mood, concentration, and cognitive function.

Aqua Culture Swim School was founded on the simple yet powerful assertion that Drowning IS Preventable. Drownings are the leading cause of injury death for young children ages 1 to 4 and the second leading cause in children 1 to 14; three children die in the US every day as a result of drowning. Research has shown that participation in formal swimming lessons can reduce the risk of drowning by 88% among children aged 1 to 4 years.

Have had a great experience with Aqua Culture! We live very close so it was convenient and they were flexible with us switching classes as our schedule had changed. If we have another little one will definitely bring them there to learn how to swim!!!
