Let's try to clarify a common misconception: Beginning to attend swimming lessons is not just about learning how to swim. On the contrary, there is much more to gain from getting in the swimming pool with your swim instructor next to you. One of the most underrated virtues that swimming classes can cultivate, is the strengthening of teamwork ethic.

First things first: Learning to swim is a life-saving skill that all people who live in sea countries should possess. This is an indisputable fact beyond any doubt. Nonetheless, when talking about swimming there are numerous more aspects to take into consideration. Swimming can offer valuable lessons that can be extremely helpful for our progress in life. Let's examine a number of them.

What is so exciting about swimming is its multidimensional nature. Either you're a chilled individual who just wants to experience the relaxing effects of water or an adrenaline seeker who always looks for new challenges, swimming is rewarding for all. For the latter category, long-distance swimming represents a challenge that can provide thrilling times. Let's take a... dive to the depths of this wonderful activity.

“Vision without action is a daydream. Action without vision is a nightmare.” Japanese Proverb. The gathering of human wisdom throughout centuries has gifted the people of today with valuable lessons. One of the most precious teachings that we all affiliate with, is the importance of setting goals. Is it true that no result can be achieved if we don't set specific and applicable goals?

When the going gets tough, the tough get going says the famous proverb. Its meaning is intertemporal and applies to all people all around the world. What is less visible at times, is that mental resilience is not a natural “gift” that only some “privileged” individuals have but a trait that all of us can develop. Swimming can be a great tool for getting there.

The last couple of years have been pretty awkward for all. The pandemic crisis came out of nowhere and changed almost all aspects of our daily lives. Quite naturally our social life was shattered due to social distancing. As vaccination proceeds though, there seems to be a gradual return to the “old days”. Within the current more positive environment, swimming can be a great socialising factor for all.

We live in stressful times. The dominant culture of continuous development combined with the steady financial worries and the outbreak of the pandemic is affecting our psychological well-being. Keeping the right balance between daily obligations and mental stability is essential for our overall health. Let's take a look at some relaxation techniques that can be extremely helpful.  

Fact one: All people want to prosper in their lives. Life is a gift and getting the most out of it is a natural inclination. Fact two: Progression results after taking certain steps. As we all know, Rome wasn't built in a day. Fact three: The essential first step that comes before everything is effective self-care. Keeping physical and mental stability is a must, before setting new goals. Bottom-line: Making self-care a routine is not a luxury but a necessity for all. 

Swimming is a unique activity. Its special element lies in the fact of combining the acquisition of a life-saving skill with the extensive workout of the whole body. But, there's also another distinct characteristic: Swimming allows everyone to practice it in, both, inside and outside environments. What is more fascinating is that both options provide excellent perspectives for improving the quality of life for all swimmers. Let's find out how.
