The Healing Powers of Sea Swimming

Sea swimming is transformative and every single swim is worth it. As the colder months come, the water temperature will start to drop, which means things will get even more exciting. Here are some reasons why you should start cold water sea swimming.

Cold water swimming boosts your immune system

The effects of cold water immersion on the immune system have been studied greatly. Cold water has been found to boost the white blood cell count because the body is forced to react to changing conditions. Over time, your body becomes better at activating its defences.

Cold water gives you a natural high

Cold water immersion activates endorphins. The colder it gets, the more of a high you’ll feel! Endorphins are the happy hormones that are what the brain produces to make us feel good during physical activity.

Sea Swimming gets you fit

Cold water sea swimming is a great form of exercise. It works the entire body.

It reduces stress

Cold water swimming places stress on the body both physically and mentally. Many studies have shown a link between cold water and stress reduction. Cold water swimmers are calmer and more relaxed.

It’s time to give cold water swimming a go! Get in there and watch your body and mind adapt. If you’d like to try a 1-1 session, or want some sea knowledge then book a session with me. Seas the day!
