Is swimming only for summer? You’re kidding; you mean it when you say that! If you want to do something for your muscles, your endurance, your heart, and your mind in winter, you should go to the pool more often. What does a complete and healthy training provide? Here’s the fact check.

Swimming is a truly versatile sport: moving in the water trains endurance, muscle strength, and coordination.

At the same time, almost no other sport exercises the body in such a gentle and enjoyable way, making swimming suitable for both young and old.

But not only the body benefits but also the psyche because swimming increases well-being and reduces stress.

We take a closer look at the benefits of this popular sport.
