Swimming can improve breathing by increasing lung capacity and strengthening the muscles used for breathing. When swimming, the lungs must work harder to get oxygen into the bloodstream because the body is constantly moving and using energy.
This can help to increase lung capacity over time. Additionally, the muscles used for breathing, such as the diaphragm and intercostal muscles, are also used when swimming. Regular swimming can help to strengthen these muscles, making it easier to breathe.
It’s essential to keep in mind that proper breathing technique is crucial for swimming. It’s recommended to inhale through the mouth and exhale through the nose and to time your breath with your stroke. This way, the swimmer can avoid hyperventilation and maintain oxygen levels throughout the workout.
