Benefits of swimming for the elderly:

1, swimming exercise is beneficial to the cardiovascular health of the elderly. As an aerobic exercise in water, its most obvious function is to stimulate the heartbeat, which is the best exercise for the myocardium. In addition, in the process of swimming and breathing, the elderly strengthen the strength of respiratory muscles and improve the pulmonary ventilation function. Swimming can also increase lipase in the blood and accelerate the decomposition of cholesterol, thus reducing the accumulation of deposits on the blood vessel wall, which has a good effect on preventing or alleviating arteriosclerosis and cardiovascular diseases in the elderly.

2. Swimming exercise can improve the joint health of the elderly. Osteoarticular cartilage tends to gradually degenerate with age, and in severe cases it will develop into osteoarthritis, which is very common in the elderly. When arthritis patients swim in the water, the water will produce a mechanical stress on human joints, which will play a good massage role and relax the stiff joints.
