How to learn to swim?
It is impossible to count how much a person benefits from swimming. When pronouncing the word swimming, the first thing that comes to mind is summer vacation, pool and sea, although this is not only entertainment, but also sports.
Swimming has beneficial effects on the human body, from maintaining heart health to muscle position and body composition. The influence of water on human mental health is also undeniable. Learning so many positive aspects of water, the bond of people with it has become even stronger and more innovations have been added to water sports every day. In this article we will answer a few water-related questions and focus on the question "how to learn to swim?"
The most famous of the benefits of swimming is forcing the body to overcome resistance. Swimming in the sea in particular is more difficult due to the waves, which increase the heart rate and strengthen the lungs. By reducing stress, it keeps you fit, corrects posture and helps you gain flexibility. It is one of the most recommended sports for a healthy and fit body.
So, which is easier, to swim in the sea or in the pool?
This is one of the most frequently asked questions about swimming. Swimming in the sea is healthier than swimming in the pool. First of all, the sea is a natural, not an artificial environment. The realization that you are in the ocean or sea while swimming is even more relaxing and soothing. Since the swimming distance in the sea is much longer than in the pool, you do not need to do the approaches like in the pool, and you can swim straight for a long time. In addition, sea salt is very beneficial for our immune system and skin. Even for some skin conditions, swimming in the sea is used as a treatment, because the sea salt water is good.
The chlorine in the pool is harmful to the skin. The pools are not as endless as the seas, you will swim in a confined space. But one of the main complaints about swimming pools open to everyone or by subscription is the control over the cleanliness of the pools or the large crowds. In crowded pools, contact and intimacy can get in the way in a pool you share with many people. The pools do not have that feeling of liberation and the ability to swim forward as in the sea. When it comes to the benefits of swimming pools, if you find a pool that suits your criteria and cleanliness, it will be beneficial for you in terms of consistency. For example, in a complex that has an indoor and outdoor pool, you can swim all year round. In addition, if the sea water bothers you, then the fresh water in the pool will be more useful for you. But since the lifting force of the water in the pool is lower compared to the sea, swimming in the pool is much more difficult. It is a well-known truth that the best swimming is swimming in calm water without waves. Although the buoyancy of the water in the sea makes it easier to swim, it is difficult to swim in a changeable or strong current.
How can you learn to swim on your own?
Sure, you can learn to swim on your own, but it's always safer to work with someone who sees and corrects your mistakes. When you learn to swim on your own, after a while your mistakes can become permanent and you may lose motivation thinking why you haven't become a professional swimmer yet. When learning on your own, start by learning basic techniques first with small movements at the water's edge. As you get used to the water over time, you will begin to try swimming techniques and can begin to master the technique that suits you. But don't swim alone until you learn how to swim. A situation like “I let go of myself and use the lift” is utopian. A moment of spasm, swaying, loss of balance will cause panic, and in such moments it is very difficult to remain cool. It is dangerous to do this even with a lifeguard, especially if you are not a professional swimmer. However, our only advice to you is to work with someone from the first day you started learning to swim.
Swimming Tips
1 - Trust the buoyancy of the water!
Water is always on your side, especially rely on pool water with the right criteria. Don't strain yourself, try to feel as comfortable as possible. Swimming is primarily a daring sport, so eliminate unnecessary, discouraging opportunities like drowning or diving.
Since swimming is an industry full of technical details, learning this technique and putting it into practice makes you a very good swimmer. Breathing control training, especially learned at the beginning, forms the basis of swimming. Since the breath you breathe in and out of the water also affects your ability to get in and out of the water, it is very important to know where to breathe and where to breathe out. Inadequate and correct breathing will cause you to get tired quickly, so it will tire you out and affect your health. Another issue is limb control. Although different swimming styles are applied from coach to coach, the basic rule is to learn how to use the limbs correctly, especially the feet and hands, in all of these styles. Hence, another issue to look out for while exercising is control over your body.
2 - If your child is going to learn to swim, the first lesson will be to introduce him to water. If the child has been in contact with water before or is already swimming untrained, this will make the situation easier, since water can be a foreign concept for babies and children, they must first contact water slowly and love the water. These actions, which first occur at the water's edge, in the future should be continue heading towards the water. Constant stay at the water's edge weakens the baby's courage and prolongs the process. Always encourage your child, a child who loves water and is not afraid of water, will learn to swim in a very short time and will fall in love with water. Think of how babies are thrown into the water at the age of several months and they have time to move and stay afloat in a matter of seconds. Learning that there is nothing to be afraid of water will increase your courage and success. If your child, despite everything, is afraid of water and cannot get used to it, do not force him. There is no rule that every child will love water in a short time. Give the kids time and expect them to spontaneously love water. They will take the hardest step when they manage to stand calmly in the water of their own accord.
Swimming is one of the most exhausting sports because it uses all your muscles, even if you don't understand it. Therefore warm-up exercises are so important. As with any sport, the warm-up movements you do before swimming will prevent your muscles from suddenly starting to work and relieve pain.
3 - Practice, practice, practice!
Finally, learning how to swim properly in a short amount of time takes a good instructor and a lot of practice. The more time you spend with a coach, the more opportunities you have to practice.
