It’s all over the news: stress and anxiety levels in children are increasing at an alarming rate. You may have scheduled swim lessons this summer because you understand it is vitally important to keeping children safe. Did you know that swimming can help reduce stress and anxiety as well?

Your swimming adventures don't have to end when summer does. It's important to take swim lessons year round. Continue to grow your child's swimming skills and reap mental health benefits as well this fall.  

Swimming relaxes our bodies.
Stress makes our muscles tense up. Swimming stretches and uses those muscles, therefore easing built-up tension.

Swimming is meditative.
Due to the repetitive movements and controlled breathing swimming requires, swimming naturally slows down the mind and lets the body take control. Plus, the therapeutic value of the water that surrounds and holds you up adds to a relaxed state of being.

Swimming boosts endorphins.
While swimming, your body releases endorphins — those feel-good hormones — that increase positive thoughts and boost a sense of well-being and happiness. Plus, the sense of accomplishment when mastering a new skill is priceless.

Swimming helps us sleep better.
Most children (and adults) get less sleep than they need. Did you know that lack of sleep actually causes stress levels to rise significantly over time? Regular hops in the pool not only help you feel better during the day, they also help you sleep better at night. Some studies show swimming also increases time spent in deep (i.e., quality) sleep as well.

Swimming is fun!
If “laughter really is the best medicine,” then look no further than swimming to cure what ails you or your child. After all, USA Swimming calls it the “funnest sport" for a reason!
