Many forms of exercise are not as good for you as you might think. Stress and strain on joints can actually wear them down even faster. Bouncing and jiggling those areas you are trying to firm up will just make them sag more. If you are concerned that exercise does more harm than good, try swimming.
Because swimming is an aerobic exercise, it is also excellent for improving and maintaining cardiovascular health. Swimming is also a great treatment for stress and anxiety.
However, not everyone is lucky enough to have access to a Unfortunately, not everyone has access to a body of water or a swimming pool. Public swimming pools have limited hours and are not always very sanitary. Private swimming pools are costly to build and maintain. They also require an expanse of land, building permits and major excavation. Huge amounts of extremely unpleasant chemicals, like chlorine, are essential to keep them free of harmful bacteria. Moreover, traditional swimming pools cannot be used during colder months unless they are heated, which can be expensive.
Through modern technology and extremely creative minds, you can overcome these obstacles and still manage to swim in the privacy and comfort of your home. In the past couple of decades, a new type of swimming pool has evolved. The current can be altered depending on the pace required and the strength of the swimmer. It is extremely cost effective and does need any special equipment, construction or permits. And because of the small amount of water in an endless pool, only a purifying system is necessary for disinfection and only a small heater is needed to heat the water, thus minimizing the use of harmful chemical and costly heating bills.
An endless pool operates with water jets that cause currents against which one can swim. These currents can be adjusted according to the strength and pace of the swimmer. Because the swimmer basically swims in place, the endless pool does not require much room.
Endless pools are also available with many additional options, including automatic covers, benches, mirrors, lights, steps, rails and heart monitors. Customers can choose between in-ground versions or the more versatile above-ground models. Instructions are generally included for installation, although you can choose to have them installed professionally.
With so many positive benefits and virtually no detriments, an endless pool can enhance just about anyone’s life, regardless of space, budget and lifestyle constraints.
