It’s Never Too Late to Fall in Love With Swimming

Swimming is a great way to exercise, stay cool in the summer, and have fun. But what if you've never been a strong swimmer? Or what if you haven't swum in years? Is it too late to start?

Here are a few tips to help you get started:

Start slowly. If you need to be a stronger swimmer, start by swimming for short periods. Gradually increase the amount of time you spend swimming as you get stronger.

The answer is NO! It's always possible to fall in love with swimming. In fact, there are many benefits to starting swimming later in life.

Find a comfortable pool. At Pelican Athletic Club (PAC), we warm our pools in the cooler months.

Wear comfortable clothing. But make sure it is snug enough not to fall off!

For one, swimming is a low-impact exercise. This means it's easy on your joints, so it's an excellent option for people with injuries or chronic pain. Swimming is also a great way to improve your cardiovascular health.

Listen to your body. If you start to feel tired or sore, take a break. There's no need to push yourself too hard.

With some practice, you'll swim like a pro in no time!

In addition to the physical benefits, swimming can have many mental and emotional benefits. Swimming can help you relax and de-stress.

At Pelican Athletic Club, you can book Adult Lessons to perfect your technique, join one of our aquatics group exercise classes, or join our complimentary Endurance Edge classes in the pool!
