There are several health benefits associated with countless number of sporting activities. However, the sporting activity that I would stress  its health benefits is swimming. Personally, I love to swim, and I have participated in several competitions. But before I go on to talk about its health benefits, I would want to caution that swimming is a good sports that provides low-impact work on the body, but do swim in a safe environment. If you're not really good at it, do not move to deeper areas of the water.

Swimming is considered as one of the full body exercises since every muscle in your body will be needed to move against the resistance of the water. Some of the physical benefits of swimming is the build up of muscles, endurance, maintenance of a healthy weight as it aids in burning fats, and many others. Swimming also provides mental benefits such as the release of stress, which most swimmers are aware of. So after a stressful week, find time to hit any recommended pool near you, and maintain a healthy lifestyle while making new friends.
