HydroFitness Benefits
The advantages of warm water swimming:
-
Swimming is an excellent form of non weight bearing exercise.
-
The warm water relaxes the muscles and increases blood flow. In this state the muscles are able to stretch easily with less discomfort
-
The pressure of the water on the body helps to increase both lymph and blood circulation especially in the limbs, again helping muscles to relax and move more freely.
-
The water pressure has a calming effect on the body. Lastly, the water supports the body and stabilizes the joints causing movement and stretching to be safer.
-
Meanwhile, the resistance of the water causes the muscles and joints to work harder (than air resistance) without stressing the muscles or joints with body weight.
-
Your dog is working 12 times harder moving in water than in air, which makes swimming an effective yet gentle form of exercise.
