What is CROSSWIM® ?

CROSSWIM® is well structured, swimming pool based training program which has swimming and strength & conditioning coaching components performed both in and out of water. This combination ultimately works every muscle and all energy systems of your body.

CROSSWIM health benefits

While swimming and strength & conditioning training have a number of benefits separately, a combination of both gives a tremendous number of health benefits. CROSSWIM® has it all! 

INCREASED MUSCLE TONE AND STRENGTH
Unlike any other form of exercise, swimming requires every muscle in your body to work as a team to keep you moving and staying afloat. Moreover, there is continual resistance to every move you make.  The water offers 12% – 14% more resistance compared to several other land aerobic exercises. There’s yet another bonus of a watery workout: Swimming has also been shown to improve bone strength – especially in post-menopausal women (Journal of Applied Physiology, 2003)
WEIGHT CONTROL

Swimming is now recognized as one of the biggest calorie burners around, and it’s great for keeping weight under control. The exact number of calories you burn, of course, depends on your own physiology and the intensity with which you exercise, but as a general rule, for every 10 minutes of swimming: the breast stroke will burn 60 calories; the backstroke torches 80; the freestyle lights up 100; and the butterfly stroke incinerates an impressive 150.

IMPROVED FLEXIBILITY

Unlike exercise machines in a gym, swimming puts the body through a broad range of motion that helps joints and ligaments stay loose and flexible. Plus, with every stroke, as you reach forward, you’re lengthening the body, which gives you a good stretch from head to toe. To improve your flexibility beyond the natural gains you’ll make by swimming, you might also want to finish your pool workout with a series of gentle stretches. The support of the water helps you maintain positions involving tricky balance for longer periods of time.

ATHLETIC STRENGTH / IMPROVED SPORT PERFORMANCE

Weight training might also help you get better at your favorite non-gym sport activities. Any person involved in sport benefits tremendously from strength training. A large body of research backs this up. Moreover, weightlifting also improves dexterity, endurance and hand-eye coordination, all of which will help you be at the top of your game.

STRONG AND HEALTHY BONES

As you age, you naturally lose muscle and bone mass. This is of special concern for women, whose bones are smaller to begin with and can become dangerously weakened by age (women make up 80% of osteoporosis cases). When you forcefully contract your muscles, they end up pulling on and gently stressing your bones. Just as your muscles adapt to the stress of weightlifting by becoming bigger and stronger, your bones also adapt. “Anytime your bones perceive stress, the response is that more bone will be deposited”( Vivian Ledesma, D.C.)

BUILD YOUR BRAIN

Heavy weights develop more than just muscle. Lifting heavy increases the production of many hormones, including the hormone IGF-1, which helps to stimulate connections in the brain and enhance cognitive function. Experts say that exercise can start a cascade of positive brain activity that may improve function in the short-term and – particularly if an exercise routine is maintained – the long run. Simply said: strength training can improve your ability to learn and think as you age.
