Have you ever dreamed of swimming like a real mermaid? Then mermaid swimming, also known as mermaiding, might be the perfect activity for you. It combines fun, fantasy and a full body workout into one magical experience. In this blog you will read why mermaid swimming is not only fun, but also incredibly good for your body and mind.
1. A full body workout with fun
Mermaid swimming trains your entire body. You use a monofin and a mermaid tail to move gracefully through the water. You use your abdominal muscles, thighs and buttocks, but your back and shoulders are also put to work. Because water provides natural resistance, you build strength and muscle mass at the same time. With one hour of mermaid swimming you can burn up to six hundred calories.
2. Improve your breathing and fitness
During mermaid swimming, you regularly hold your breath and swim underwater. This trains your lung capacity and improves your breathing control. In addition, you quickly build up a good condition and strengthen your endurance. Your heart and blood vessels also benefit from this, which improves your overall health.
3. Good for your heart and relaxation
Swimming stimulates blood circulation and lowers blood pressure. Because you weigh less in the water, your blood flows back to your heart more easily. As a result, your heart doesn't have to work as hard. At the same time, endorphins are released during swimming, a substance that provides relaxation and a feeling of happiness. That makes mermaid swimming an ideal activity to release stress and clear your head.
4. Safe and kind to your body
In the water, you put much less strain on your joints and muscles than on dry land. This reduces the risk of injury. Mermaid swimming is therefore also very suitable as a restorative activity or for those who want to stay fit in a safe way. The light feeling in the water allows you to move more freely and train without pain.
5. Magical and responsible
Safety is very important when mermaid swimming. Therefore, make sure that your basic swimming skills are good before putting on a tail. In addition, choose high-quality and well-fitting mermaid tails and monofins. Brands such as Fin Fun and Suntails are known for their focus on safety. Do you really want to learn to swim like a mermaid? Then take a mermaid course at a recognized swimming school, such as Little Fins Swim School.
