Snorkeling involves swimming while wearing a diving mask and normally fins. This is one of the fun activities that kids enjoy in summer camps. They dive in waters to find fish, crabs, and enjoy the underwater life. The kids move in groups and have private swimming lessons before going for practicals in the waters. Even then the instructors follow them and ensure they are safe. The kids are given snorkels, fishnets and crab trappings. Other activities that come with snorkeling include hiking, collecting marine organisms, paddle boarding, and skim boarding. There are numerous advantages of snorkeling. Some of them are discussed below:
- Breathing Easy
Snorkels improve oxygen intake which is important for aerobic respiration. Professionals argue that individuals who use snorkels in private swimming lessons improve the capacity of their lungs and increase their aerobic fitness. This is because there is little resistance to breathing, thus ‘extending the lungs’. The swimmers develop a greater chest capacity that holds more air. During competitions they are at a better chance than the rest who keep coming to the surface to gasp for breath. Toronto swimming lessons incorporate the use of snorkels for this purpose. To dive below the surface, a snorkeler takes a deep breath and holds it as he/she dives. With time, the snorkeler will develop strengthened lungs and improved cardiac response according to the experts.
- Perfect performance
For the beginners, learning how to swim using snorkels is very important. If you choose to use snorkels for private swimming lessons your performance will be superb within a very few days. Front-mounted ones allow beginners to practice pulling arms and body positioning in the water. The swimmer doesn’t have to worry about having to turn or raise his/her head to breath. By staying underwater for a long time it helps to build lung capacity and strengthen the swimmer's’ legs.
- Joint mobility
Worried about obesity, joint pains, or stiffness? Then make snorkeling your resort. It conveys health benefits to your joints and all other areas as you exercise your body. There is reduced impact force that is associated with other cardiovascular trainings i.e. jogging. Therefore, if you can’t jog then you can try snorkeling and still improve your fitness. You can choose to start with one session per day and with time as you gain experience increase the number of times per day. Snorkeling enables those who suffer from arthritis to reduce the pain that is associated with moving their joints.
- Connect with nature
Apart from what we see on a daily basis, there are other amazing natural things hidden on the seafloor. These include corals, planktons and other sea wreckages. In Toronto swimming lessons, the divers wear snorkels and spend quality time under water looking at these marvelous sights and also collecting sea organisms. They encounter these wonderful creatures and their habitat, study their adaptations, and even get to take beautiful pictures under the sea. They also go fishing, swimming, and paddle boarding.
- Better mood
The experts say that snorkeling releases endorphins which raise the mood. However, this must be practiced. The swimmers must hold and release their breath rhythmically as in medicine, in a calm way. By doing so the feeling of relaxation and peace sets in.
- Overcome fear
For those who are afraid of diving, using a snorkel is a perfect way of reducing this fear. This is because you don’t have to go very deep and also you are able to breathe through your nose as you do normally, although there is a little resistance.
Zodiac summer camp is one of the best swim schools in Canada. The kids are exposed to snorkeling, paddle boarding, and other fun activities.
