Strictly speaking, Chinese medicine strongly disapproves of swimming. In particular, the winter swimming, which has gradually warmed up in recent years, is incompatible with or even contrary to the theory of Yin-Yang and Five Elements in TCM.

Luo Dalun, a famous doctor of traditional Chinese medicine, believes that swimming should pay attention to the way and have an adaptation process. For example, you wipe your body with cold water first, then you get used to it, then you get wet, and gradually you can get into the water. This process is the adaptation process of the human body. People who like swimming, if they can adapt their bodies to the water temperature step by step every time they swim, will soon adjust their bodies to a state of resisting cold water, which is a good opportunity for many people with weak physique to exercise.

The so-called swimming hurts the yang of the human body mainly means that this person usually doesn't exercise much and doesn't go into the water once a year. As a result, one day he was so excited that he suddenly jumped into the water of a mountain stream to swim, and he was likely to get sick.

When swimming, due to the stimulation of cold water, long-term exercise can enhance the body's ability to adapt to changes in the external environment, resist cold and prevent diseases, so people who swim often are not easy to catch a cold;

2. Children's swimming is more conducive to growing taller. This is because the role of buoyancy in water is greatly reduced by their own gravity, which is not oppressed by gravity and is more conducive to physical growth.
