- Swimmers in shape
All cold water swimmers will tell you: fewer colds, fewer illnesses, less pain. The health benefits are multiple and the practice of swimming in cold water has several effects.
- Strengthened immunity
Simulation of white blood cell production, hormonal response, heat stress: swimmers in cold water often repeat it: they almost never catch colds and are “less sick”.
- Risk factors for cardiovascular diseases
Blood pressure under control, reduction in triglycerides, and improvement in vascular plasticity: this is all beneficial for our cardiovascular system
- Relief of osteoarticular pain
Anti-inflammatory, relaxing, analgesic: swimming in cold water is our best medicine against osteoarthritis!
