Lifeguard training is crucial in equipping individuals with the skills and knowledge necessary to ensure the safety of beach and poolers.
Want to stay fit during the summer holidays? Go swimming! This is not only relaxing, it is also very good for your body and health. It’s the best workout for you for the following reasons.
LIFEGUARD AND SWIMMING
You can lose weight with lifeguard and swimming and lifeguard. Swimming is a cardio workout, and cardio burns fat. Depending on the intensity of your training, this is about 500 to 750 calories per hour. This is also quite a lot for a sport that relatively does not tire you out at all. The reason? While swimming you use many different muscle groups. This ensures high combustion.
SWIMMING AND FITNESS
Do you think swimming and lifeguard lengths does nothing for your fitness? Think again! During a few laps of breaststroke you ask a lot of your lungs. This increases your lung capacity and improves your condition. The health of your heart and blood vessels also improves.
Lifeguard training not only teaches essential rescue techniques, but also instills a sense of responsibility and vigilance in preventing accidents before they occur.
Because you breathe irregularly while swimming and lifeguard, your body learns to use oxygen more efficiently, as less of it is pumped through your body. The same applies to pumping blood around, which has a positive effect on blood flow throughout your body.
FULL BODY WORKOUT
Swimming is more than just fitness training. It’s anything but a little ‘floating’. Water is 800% more compact than air, so swimming and lifeguard falls under resistance training. Unlike, for example, cycling or running – with which you mainly train your legs – swimming is a real full-body workout.
You develop and strengthen your shoulder and arm muscles, while at the same time you have to tighten your core to lie horizontally in the water. Your body is ‘carried’ by the water, so that you train all muscles in a balanced way and you have less chance of injuries.
SWIMMING AND RELAXATION
Swimming is ideal for people who experience a lot of stress in everyday life. After fifteen minutes in the water, your muscles relax. Your body produces endorphins, just like with other physical activities. This will make you feel happy and joyful.
In addition, swimming and lifeguard is also good for reducing stress. The People’s Journal of Scientific Research claims that swimming is comparable to yoga in reducing anxiety over a 12-week period. Bad mood or a lot of stress? Take a dip!
HOW DO YOU GET EVERYTHING OUT OF IT?
Swimming is an extremely healthy sport. But how do you make the most of it? Very simple: make sure you do it with some regularity. An hour of breaststroke every few weeks is not enough. Schedule one or two fixed appointments in your calendar and you can’t avoid it. Don’t feel like going alone? Meet up with a friend or join one of our lessons in our swimming pool (not in Almere).
Swimming, the perfect workout
Swimming and lifeguard is one of the least injury-prone sports. Spraining your ankle is not an option in the water. And also overloading the knees or hips is unlikely. This is especially beneficial for overweight people. It makes swimming one of the best sports to start with if you’ve been inactive for a long time or are a few pounds overweight.
Keep it fun
Some people find endless laps a bit boring. Keep it fun by alternating front crawl, breaststroke and back swimming and lifeguard. Or make it challenging for yourself by joining one of the stroke improvement swim workouts that are organized in almost every pool.
You can also take aqua jogging, aqua fitness or aqua aerobics classes almost everywhere. You also do an intensive workout in the water.
The water acts as a shock absorber when jumping, so your joints are spared. And the water gives so much resistance while moving that you use more energy. If you are overweight or inactive for a long time, these sports are highly recommended to get fit.
Tip: Although swimming is not prone to injury, swimming lengths can put strain on the shoulders and neck: you can prevent this by wearing swimming goggles and keeping your head under water as much as possible.
Swimming in lakes and puddles
As soon as spring is on its way, the outdoor pools open and you can even swim in lakes and puddles. Swimming and lifeguard outside is not only fun: it has special advantages related to the water temperature. Cold water uses slightly more energy than hot water.
Your body has to do its best to stay at 37 degrees, because the heat is dissipated quickly by cold water, much faster than on dry land. But beware, after an hour of swimming in cold water, your appetite can increase considerably: a signal from your body to eat the energy lost again. So to lose weight, swimming in cold water does not help as well as you would like in the short term.
Not too cold
Fresh water has another advantage: the heat generated by the effort can be properly dissipated. And that allows you to perform better than in a warmer bath. In warm water, your heart also has to pump the blood harder to dissipate the heat.
This can cause blood pressure to rise. This is particularly unfavorable for the elderly, who may already have high blood pressure. But when water is too cold, blood vessels constrict in an effort to counteract heat loss, and that also hurts performance. Swimming and lifeguard experts nowadays believe that fresh water of 27 degrees leads to the best swimming performance and most pleasant swimming experience.

Good for metabolism
Most outdoor pools do not exceed 19 to 20 degrees. That is not a problem for a healthy body. If you take a dip in such a fresh outdoor pool a few times a week, you will benefit from a special side effect of the cold. More and more research indicates that brown adipose tissue is stimulated when we are cold. It can possibly even increase in size and that contributes to a healthy metabolism and helps to maintain a good weight.
