Swimming pools: benefit for children and adults

Swimming pools are hydrotechnical constructions of various types, including bathing, for sports, adults and children. The standard size of the pool can be from 25 to 50 meters in length, at a depth of one and a half to six meters. The width in this case depends on the length and can be from 11 to 25 meters, and the number of tracks - from five to ten.

Conditions for children

Swimming pools for children have special operating conditions. For example, the area of the water mirror here should not exceed 60 square meters. Meters, depth - no more than 60 centimeters, and water temperature - about 30-32 degrees. It is necessary to pay attention to the number of children in the group - there should not be too many of them, because according to the norms for one child there must be at least three square meters of surface. Water resources in children's pools are constantly updated (full water exchange must be made once in half an hour).

A sports swimming pool for children is equipped with cleaning systems for flow, recirculation or a sample with periodic replacement of water masses. Here, heating devices (under windows and outside walls) are located in a special way to ensure that there are no cold air flows. The room should not be dark (at least 100 lx on the surface of the water), and there should also be an emergency lighting system of at least 5 lx. Finding children in the water depends on the age. For example, in the younger age group, the time of stay is not more than 20 minutes, and in the teenage age - 25-30 minutes.

Unconditional benefit

Swimming pools for children, despite the relatively high cost of subscriptions and time costs, are institutions where the foundation of health for life is laid. First, the child is in the water environment, as in the intrauterine period, which positively affects the nervous system. Secondly, breathing during swimming enriches the blood with oxygen, reduces the risks of diseases of the upper respiratory tract. Thirdly, the exercises perfectly strengthen the muscles, including the back, which makes it possible to avoid scoliosis during schooling.

Swimming pools invite children from the age of one year for water procedures (together with parents, naturally). This brings the kids (and dads with moms) a lot of fun and positive emotions. It is noted that children become calmer, sleep better and communicate. Professional training of this sport begins later, at five years and involves constant intensive training.

Visible to everyone

Swimming pools (in Moscow in this case) offer citizens about 135 addresses to visit in different areas. There is a difference in the prices of services in such establishments. If, for example, in the sports complex "Chaika" near the center of the capital will need to pay about 1000-2000 rubles. For a one-time visit, then in the center "Medinsky" - near MKAD - the cost can be 3-4 times lower. It is believed that to maintain a good physical shape you need to swim twice a week (adults). For children, the weekly visit is considered to be optimal.
