Swim, Surf & Wellness
Wellness: Did you know that swimming gives your brain a boost, but
scientists don't know yet why it's better than other aerobic activities.
A long-term study at Indiana University Center for the Science of
Swimming found that swimmers, 35-years of age or older, who swam
roughly 3,200 to 4,500 meters three
to five times a week, postponed the
aging process. In addition to increased
muscle mass and respiratory function,
regular swimming has been shown to
improve memory, cognitive function,
immune function and mood. While the
mechanism of swimming, as an aerobic
activity, may help repair damage
from stress by forging new neural
pathways in the brain and in mammals,
additional research is ongoing and
promising. In the meantime, see you at
the pool!
