Swimming is a broad term that refers to the action of swimming, whether on the surface or underwater. It encompasses the various physical activities practiced in the water: diving, synchronized swimming, diving, etc. Olympic discipline since 1896 for men and 1912 for women, swimming remains a sport accessible to all.

The offer for aquatic sports activities is broad and tends to diversify even further. Whether it's water aerobics, aquabike, water yoga or just swimming, anyone can practice a sport in the water. From 2 to 3 weekly sessions are recommended to get the most benefit.

A sports activity without impact on the joints

One of the first benefits of swimming is certainly the lack of impact on the joints and back, so that this sport can be adopted at all ages. Studies have shown that the practice of an aquatic activity soothes pain related to arthritis and osteoarthritis while strengthening the joints1-2. Swimming also helps maintain or even improve bone health in premenopausal or menopausal women3. By practicing this type of sport, people in good physical shape will guard against possible joint pain.

Toning your muscles without pain

The effect of weightlessness felt when a person is immersed in water allows to work all the muscles smoothly. With body buoyancy of 80%, hard ground movements can be easily performed in the water. In addition, an additional load of weight is not necessary since the aquatic environment itself offers resistance. Men who spent eight weeks training on a swim program increased their triceps muscle mass by 23.8%. A regular practice of swimming helps to tone the muscles of the arms, legs and trunk.

The forms of swimming are multiple and allow to work different muscles. Here are 4 techniques:

The breaststroke. It mainly involves the biceps, pecs, abdominals and calves. The hands are joined at the height of the chest. They are then pushed forward until the full extension of the arms. Then, they separate, along each side of the body and meet at the initial position. Meanwhile, the legs perform a breaststroke chisel which involves bringing the heels closer to the buttocks and then propelling in the manner of a frog jump. The faster this handset is, the faster the momentum will be.

The crawl. Easy to execute, the crawl allows you to swim quickly. While the legs perform an alternating beat, the arms are, in turn, out of the water. The palm of the hand must face the water when diving to promote propulsion. This type of swimming helps to tone all the muscles: arms, shoulders, legs, chest and abs.

The back crawl. This practice allows to work effectively the back muscles. The movements are the same as for the crawl except that the back faces the water rather than the chest. The major difficulty of backstroke is to stay in the initial trajectory.

The butterfly. The rippling movements of the butterfly type swim can deepen the abdominals. However, it is the most difficult technique to master because it requires perfect coordination. The legs should wave to propel the trunk out of the water. When leaving the water, the arms are open in the shape of a U and it is the palms that must plunge first. Once the arms have entered the water, they must be pushed back to the waist. This sequence must be repeated continually.
