The Many Benefits to Year-Round Swimming


At Waterworks, we strongly believe swimming is a year-round sport and activity. When children and adults alike swim all year long, they are sure to be safer in and around the water all while remaining physically active.

Sure, swimming is fun during the summer months because it allows you to cool down from the heat. But, who ever said swimming throughout the rest of the year wasn’t fun too?

“Swimming is so much more than a sport, which is why it’s essential children remain water safe year round. Birthday parties, beach days, and vacations are just a few examples that demonstrate how swimming can impact many aspects of our day-to-day activities,” says Stevi - Waterworks, Director of Training. “Swimming is a lifesaving skill that should be part of our lives all throughout the year.”

With shiver-free heated indoor swimming pools, Waterworks Aquatics is an ideal location not only to have fun but to learn and reinforce swimming skills no matter the weather. Most importantly, swimming is a skill everyone should know how to do. 

 Here are the main reasons to continue swim lessons throughout the year:

  1. SAFETY FIRST!
    As mentioned above, having swimming skills allows children and adults to be safer around the water and reduces the fear that can sometimes be associated with being in the water. Continuing lessons throughout the year creates safer and stronger swimmers that will likely know what to do in case of an emergency.

  2. SWIMMING IS GREAT EXERCISE!
    Swimming is a low impact, full body cardiovascular workout. For both children and adults, swimming offers a range of health benefits such as improved strength, flexibility and coordination.

  3. SWIMMING CAN MAKE US FEEL GREAT!
    One of the most important lessons we can learn is that practice pays off. It takes dedication and time to learn and perfect your swimming skills. The added confidence is priceless. Plus, swimming not only helps boost your immune system but it also prevents regression throughout the school year.

  4. SWIMMING IS A GATEWAY TO WATER SPORTS!
    As swimming skills and confidence grow, so will the opportunity to participate in water sports, such as swim competitions, competitive diving, water polo, surfing and more!

  5. SWIMMING HELPS BUILD STAMINA AND IMPROVE COORDINATION FOR OTHER SPORTS! Swimming regularly throughout the year helps with breath control and improving coordination. Both of which are necessary when playing other sports and exercising.
