Swimming lessons at Kupiskis swimming pool

The new swimming pool, which was presented to Kupiskis residents in December, has become a centre of attraction for the city and the district – both for those looking for relaxation and those looking for active health activities. Of course, the Kupiskis pool has also become a dream come true for children – not only can they have fun splashing around after school, but they can also learn to swim professionally.

Swimming lessons at Kupiskis swimming pool

The Kupiskis swimming pool invites you to take swimming lessons because swimming is a unique activity that is great for exercising the whole body and increasing stamina, but at the same time it does not cause serious injuries and does not put pressure on the joints like running. Scientists and medical professionals alike are talking about the importance and benefits of swimming and water sports.

The 5 most important benefits of swimming for the body:

1. Strengthens muscles and joints.
2. Relaxes after a hard day’s work.
3. Increases endurance and oxygen uptake.
4. Helps reduce and maintain weight.
5. Improves cardiovascular function.

And it doesn’t matter if you are 5, 35 or over 60, water activities help to gently and easily move the whole body. With regular swimming, you can achieve better and better personal performance, more energy and even improved mental performance.

However, lifeguards and professional athletes emphasise the importance of learning to swim PROPERLY so that fun in the water doesn’t turn into tragedy. This is especially important when our national statistics show that only one in five people in the country can swim properly.

More and more swimming pools are popping up all over the country, offering not only swimming lanes, but a whole complex of relaxing currents, baths and saunas, as well as regular training sessions with professional trainers. This is exactly the kind of pool that has been set up in Kupiskis.

Swimming lessons and fun at Kupiskis swimming pool

The common areas of the Kupiskis swimming pool are well suited for children. The charming children’s pool with a fountain will provide lots of fun and games in the water for the little ones, and its height with wide stairs makes it safe for even the smallest ones to splash around. This pool is also useful for first swimming lessons.

The pools are also equipped with a heated bench, which is the ideal place to relax and unwind after active water sessions.

To encourage the little ones to come and have even more fun, the Kupiskis pool management often invites children’s entertainers to the pool. They make the pool area feel cosy with fun games and songs and leave the children with the funniest memories that will encourage them to feel confident in the water and to learn to swim.

Importantly, the pool places great emphasis on training young swimmers. New groups of children from 6 years of age and up are constantly being formed. During the first training session, Tadas, a professional and experienced swimming coach, tells children the rules of safe behaviour in the water. He also helps them to get acquainted with the water and shows them the first exercises for learning to swim. All this takes place in a shallow children’s pool.

The coaches emphasise that swimming training in the Kupiskis pool not only promotes physical activity and health, but also encourages children to learn important life skills such as discipline, responsibility and self-confidence.

Swimming also has a huge impact on a child’s growing body:

• improving posture, strengthening the skeleton;
• strengthens the heart muscles;
• increases lung capacity;
• improves immunity;
• one of the most important things is to improve psychological health, as physical activity helps to “de-stress” and, in the long term, helps to develop psychological resilience;
• contributes to better learning outcomes by effectively de-stressing the brain and getting more air during activity;
• improves mood, as children’s group exercise is not lacking in laughter and games, and most importantly, children interact and cooperate with each other.

Group classes for adults in the Kupiskis pool

Group workouts, both in the water and on land, are a great way to strengthen the body, improve stamina and encourage social interaction. Joint activities give participants the experience of different forms of physical activity and a sense of community.

At the Kupiskis pool, adults can choose from up to 5 different group sessions (45 minutes) to help maintain good health and fitness at any age:

• Aqua aerobics: suitable for all ages and abilities.

It is rich in strength, stretching, balance and coordination exercises. Suitable for overweight, elderly and people working in sedentary jobs.
• Functional training: can help improve your flexibility. Easy and fluid movement will help you to do many everyday tasks much more easily. A workout designed to strengthen the muscles of the back, abdominal press and upper body. It involves different physical exercises using different aids.
• Spine and joint exercise: spine and joint exercise for people with spinal or joint problems. It includes exercises to help maintain joint flexibility and functionality. Initially, simple spinal and joint exercises are performed. Over time, as the exercises are repeated more times, they become more complex.

All the workouts are moderate intensity, so people of all ages and fitness levels can try them out with confidence.
