Benefits from freediving & swimming lessons
Health and safety
Swimming is an excellent form of low-impact cardiovascular exercise for the whole body. Children’s bodies are constantly changing as they develop and grow and it is important they gain enough exercise to burn off both excess energy and fat. Burning off this excess energy will help your child get a good night’s sleep, which has numerous benefits in itself
Self-confidence and life skills
With every new stroke a child learns, they will be developing self-confidence and a sense of accomplishment. Learning to swim will also help your child learn how to set goals and persevere until they have reached their target. Swimming is also a great means of showing your child what they can achieve with dedication and regular practice.
Strengthen lung capacity
Freediving increases the vital capacity of the lungs of children, strengthens the respiratory muscles, strengthens the immune system, and improves blood oxygenation and circulation in the body.
Improve endurance
Swimming is a sport that exercises every muscle group while building cardio strenght. This translates to better endurance and stamina – and actually sets the stage for extraordinary results in any other sport!
Intellectual development
Thanks to the practice of oxygen consumption by the body, the quality becomes better, and the microcirculation of all organs of the body, especially the heart and brain, improves. Hence, the activity of the brain and intellectual abilities in general are higher.
Concentration of attention
Children learn to control their breathing in freediving and swimming – to concentrate on breathing, which improves concentration in general. Children learn to monitor the state of their bodies.
