It helps you to unwinded your tired and stressed out body. Helps those sore muscles that you had out though the long day that you had. and it calms you down.

Answer 7

Overall, this makes you more relaxed, therefore you sleep better, therefore you get more sleep, and are generally more healthy :)

As well, all the normal benefits of swimming apply. Increased strength, stamina, flexibility, etc.

If the pool is properly maintained, and you wash afterwards (just a quick 2 minute shower will do) you should have no negative side effects.

Answer 8

if its chlorine it might change your hair color if you swim in it too often

other than that i doubt anything at all will happen

Answer 9

Make you stronger, I guess

Answer 10

Well for starters it should really help you go to sleep faster. Chlorine usually makes me sleepy and working out will do the same.

And as far as long term effects, (if night after night of a good night's sleep isn't good enough) swimming is one of the best aerboic workouts you can do because your body doesn't understand why the movement is so much harder than it is outside of water...You're working everything, all muscles are being used. So your body allows you grow muscles faster in a pool because it thinks you need the muscle growth more than you do. It think you need the extra muscle to survive.
