What are the benefits of winter swimming to health?

Respiratory regulation during swimming is also helpful to prevent respiratory diseases and enhance the skills of various organs of the body. Every sport has its own points of attention. Unlike artificial swimming pools, outdoor winter swimming is not protected by lifeguards. In addition, the underwater situation is changeable and unfamiliar with water. Try not to go swimming alone in winter. However, the elderly and young people with serious diseases are not recommended to swim in winter because of their underdeveloped physical skills. It is good to love sports, but it must be guaranteed on the premise of good health and life safety.
