Swimming training
Swimming is a versatile sport that provides a balanced workout for all muscles in the body. Swimming strengthens the immune system, cardiovascular system, and musculoskeletal system, and is beneficial for mental and emotional health.
"One of the key benefits of swimming is that the water makes you feel lighter, reducing the strain on your joints. This is especially important for overweight people. Swimming allows you to work your arms, shoulders, back, abs, and legs simultaneously. Furthermore, this sport improves posture, can relieve stress, calm you down, and give you a boost of energy," said sports instructor Alexey Salmanov.
Free swimming training sessions are held at the Moskomsport sections at the Nekrasovka Sports Palace on Pokrovskaya Street (building 22), the Albatros Vnukovo sports complex on Rasskazovskaya Street (building 31), Brateevo on Borisovskie Prudy Street (building 20, building 3b), Volna on Chertanovskaya Street (building 45b), Na Yerevanskaya on Yerevan Street (building 20, building 2, structure 1), the Medynsky swimming pool on Medynskaya Street (building 9a, building 2), and other sports facilities.
