Is a swimming blog really the best place to start reading about the downsides of swimming? I will do my best to write an objective piece. Because even though I spend a lot of time in the water, I also see quite a few disadvantages (and I also checked with some friends who really don't like swimming) with lifeguard training near me.
Disadvantages
swimming
1: Swimming
pool opening hours
If you ask me, absolutely number one. The obstruction of the
opening hours. Running or cycling? It's all possible at a time that suits you.
Swimming (especially in a pool), on the other hand, is not. Some pools have
extended opening hours when it comes to lap swimming, others (particularly the
smaller) pools have very limited opening hours for lap swimming.
2: Chlorine
perfume
If you swim a lot, it's best to embrace the chlorine smell
as your new perfume. No matter how much I scrub or wash, it doesn't seem to
help much after swimming. Yet more and more swimming pools with salt
electrolysis. Then you have a lot less trouble with that. Until then, we'll just
embrace the chlorine smell with Lifeguard Class Near Me.
3: change
clothes
First wait for the opening times, then drive to the swimming
pool. And then get dressed. There are naturally faster ways to play a sport.
And changing clothes (especially in winter) is not always fun. Fortunately, it
is not really cold in most swimming pools and the changing rooms, so that is not
too bad. The small cubicles may be a drawback for some. But the common areas
are usually fine.
Even after swimming, changing clothes can be a bit
inconvenient. No matter how well you dry yourself, it will always remain a bit
sticky and clammy.
4: Comfortable
in swimwear
Some people suffer from it more than others. But not
everyone feels equally comfortable in swimwear. That can be a reason not to
want to swim. And all I can say is, find a sport that suits you. If you really
don't feel comfortable, just don't. After all, it's a hobby.
Still in doubt? Then just go and have a look. You will see
that no one is surprised.
By the way, are you going to start. Then I can really
recommend the swimwear in the Decathlon range. They have a very wide range for
a good price, from bathing suits, bikinis to corrective. From own brand to top
brands such as arena & speedo. Go to Decathlon swimwear range.
5: Shaving
Am I the only one who finds this a drawback…. Or am I not
allowed to write that. In the winter I am a little less precise in shaving than
in the summer. But since I've been swimming, that kite doesn't fly anymore….
Enough about this. It goes without saying.
Conclusion, go ahead and try it
Every disadvantage has its advantage. And of course swimming
has a few, mostly impractical, drawbacks. But it also has many advantages.
Shall I briefly list a few? Just to maybe convince you to give it a try?
Swimming benefits
·
Less chance of injuries (due to the
weightlessness in the water)
·
Full body workout. With lap swimming you use
your entire body. So it is very strenuous. You burn a lot of calories. And we
all secretly like that.
·
It's relaxing. Being in the water is relaxing
for many people.
·
Short but sweet.
