Q: What are the health benefits of swimming or exercising in the water?

A: Swimming is a fantastic low-impact exercise that benefits people with arthritis, back pain, and joint issues. Unlike high-impact activities like running, swimming is much easier on the joints and spine, allowing for a longer and more comfortable workout. Many individuals, including those who are handicapped, use swimming as a form of physical therapy.

Water workouts also allow people with back issues to tread water or use pool exercise accessories such as underwater treadmills, which help them build strength with less strain and pain. Beyond the physical benefits, swimming also promotes mental wellness. Being in the water has a calming effect, reducing stress and promoting relaxation. Plus, swimming pools create a great environment for socializing, offering opportunities to meet and connect with others.

Q: How does Wiseman Pools cater to health-focused swimmers?

A: At Wiseman Pools, we specialize in building pools that cater to our clients’ unique needs, including those designed specifically for exercise and therapy. We’ve constructed pools for individuals who use them for rehabilitation, as well as pools with features like smooth-current swimming for continuous exercise.

As a small, family-owned business, we take pride in providing custom pool designs rather than cookie-cutter solutions. We work closely with our clients to ensure their pool fits their lifestyle and health goals. Customer service and quality craftsmanship are at the core of what we do, and we’re committed to delivering pools that enhance both physical well-being and overall enjoyment.
