Here are some of the top reasons why you should get swimming, because it’s never too late to learn how to swim.

• Swimming is a great low-impact sport - When immersed in water up to your neck, you only have to bear 10% of your body weight. Therefore, swimming places minimal stress on your bones and joints, while also helping you improve your posture.

• Swimming is an excellent form of aerobic exercise -  aerobic exercise will stimulate your metabolism, burn fat and improve the health of your heart.

• Swimming is a full body workout - The muscles in your back, shoulders, arms, legs, and core will be brought to action as you swim. Having to propel your body through a dense substance such as water provides a great resistance based workout to build and tone your muscles.

• Swimming strengthens your lungs -  Your lungs can grow stronger and more powerful from swimming workouts. Swimming has even been known to improve the symptoms of asthmatics!
• Swimming can increase flexibility - As you engage your hips to kick your legs and reach forward with your arms, and twist your body and head, your body goes through a wide range of motion to keep your joints and ligaments flexible. Finishing your workout with a gentle stretch will further improve your flexibility. 

• Swimming allows you to enjoying other wonderful water sports - The ability to swim confidently opens up a whole range of amazing water activities including snorkeling, scuba diving, sailing and kayaking. Don’t be left behind on the beach!

• Swimming helps to relieve stress – swimming can help with the management of daily stresses; it is a full-body work out that will leave you feeling relaxed and re-generated. When you perform strenuous endurance exercises such as swimming, your pituitary gland is stimulated to release substantial quantities of ‘endorphins’.  These chemicals block sensations of pain and produce overall feelings of euphoria. Swimming can help you recover from those stress-induced blues. http://www.pponline.co.uk/encyc/endorphins-449

• Enrich the relationships in your life - swimming offers an opportunity to spend time with your children while staying fit together.  Teaching your children to swim will help keep them safe when they are around the water and participating alongside them will help build their confidence in the pool. Swimming is a social sport too! Swimming provides an active way to connect with other people and develop friendships.

Who founded AquaMobile?

Diana Goodwin founded AquaMobile Swim School in 2003 when she became frustrated by the lack of attention she was able to give her students in large, community centre swim classes that she taught. She thought, “There must be a more effective way to teach in a comfortable learning environment that is also convenient for parents,” and so AquaMobile was formed!

Diana has over 12 years experience in the aquatics industry working as an instructor, supervisor and manager. She worked at a number of private swim companies and community pools for the City of Mississauga teaching all ages and skill levels before founding AquaMobile. Diana is a big sports fan and has competed in numerous lifeguard competitions and represented the University of Toronto in Varsity soccer and track and field competitions while pursuing her Bachelor of Commerce degree, which she completed in 2007. In 2011, Diana received her Masters in Business Administration (MBA) from the Kellogg School of Management at Northwestern University.
