More than just a taking a swim, recent study by Swimming.org found the benefits from having a backyard swimming pool.

Found that taking a regular dip at your local pool can make you feel happier as well as healthier, with participants reporting an increase of 35% in positivity during a major new four-week study.

The results have also shown that the low impact sport is a tonic for everyday life, increasing levels of sleep quality (+40%) and energy levels (+51%) and fitness levels (+15%) during the course of the study.

Just a few laps a week can have an almost immediate effect, with those donning their swimsuits seeing an increase of 20% in their overall levels of wellbeing after just one week. These levels were maintained for the duration of the study, peaking again at 29% in the final week.

And it seems the soothing qualities of the water could help make the nation less grumpy; negative emotions decreased (-33%) at almost the same rate as positive emotions increased (+35%), suggesting that we could all be water babies at heart.

In fact, a few more laps in the pool could even be the secret to a good night’s sleep, with those swimming for more than 2.5 hours a week reporting that their levels of sleep quality improved by over double (60%).
