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. 

Overcoming difficulties is a standard characteristic of human behaviour. Exactly because we are all humans, there is a perfect understanding of the constant challenges that lie ahead of us. Overcoming fears is probably one of our most important tasks once they affect our daily lives. The fear of water is such an intriguing task since it is potentially a life-threatening factor. 

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.

Confidence has always been a crucial factor of success for people. Whether we refer to the professional level or the personal matters of our lives, it is an attribute of extreme importance. Let us take a glance at one of its aspects, which seems to affect the lives of numerous individuals: That of body confidence.

Probably one of the most common stereotypes is related to people who are introverts. Although views tend to change lately, as the pandemic condition worldwide leads to social distancing, there's still a tendency to discriminate against less social prone individuals. Very usually, they are not the most popular choices for arranging a night out or a sports event with buddies. Does this mean that people who tend not to express their emotions are somehow excluded from the world of sports? Definitely not! Swimming can be the ideal sports activity for introverts.

The evolution of humans throughout history is a fascinating though controversial subject. On the one hand, they have achieved majestic accomplishments mainly via technological development. Nowadays people can travel everywhere in the world quickly and safely, have built the infrastructure that can protect them in most weather conditions and have even started travelling outside Earth. On the other hand, their self-destructive nature is always an imminent threat as the bloody wars, during most times of their existence, have proved. Of course, such philosophical issues can't be thoroughly discussed in this blog, but one very interesting sign of the “development hunger” is the diachronic tendency of people to extend their lifespan. You all know that life expectancy has risen drastically in recent history but did you know that swimming in cold water can lead to longevity? Let's find out together the interesting parts of the story.

So, cheer up and take a look at some group fitness activities that can reduce anxiety and help you maintain stability.
