Who says you mustn't swim in your pool as darkness falls? Being in the water as dusk descends is magical - just imagine enjoying laps underneath the twinkling stars burning bright in the night sky. Anyone who enjoys evening swimming will tell you that slipping into a pool on a warm summer night with the water lapping around your body is a mesmerising experience. A calmness and peacefulness will envelop you. Pool lights can create a subtle aura, but you can swim without them to enjoy the reflections on the water from what’s around you. Here are five reasons why evening swimming is better than you may expect.
Relaxes you
Modern-day life is busy. If you have an office job, you may be tied to a desk and be sedentary during the day.
An evening swim will allow you to switch off, clear your mind and ease away stress. Many claim swimming as night falls can be meditative, immersing you in a zone of deep relaxation.
If you want to create an extra calming ambiance, put on some soothing music to ease you into tranquility.
Connects you with nature
The world can look vibrant at night. You can take in the sunset and then witness the sky change colour – enjoying the red, orange and pink hues – it’s spectacular to watch!
There are other sensory experiences to lift your mood, the evening sounds of the distinctive chirping of crickets rubbing their front wings together, along with the nocturnal possums moving in the trees.
…and romance
Evening swimming can also be incredibly romantic. Away from distractions, you can connect as a couple and have quality time to appreciate each other.
Most of us as teenagers would have indulged in a spot of midnight swimming – memorable moments that stay with you.
Aids sleep
Swimming helps you to sleep better. As a form of fitness, swimming is a natural, low-impact exercise, so not highly invigorating. If you do a few laps, your body will naturally tire, especially if afterwards you jump into a warm spa.
Reduces stress
Stress can impact your body in many negative ways. It can increase your blood pressure, heart disease, anxiety and depression. Swimming in the evening can be the perfect way to restore a sense of calm and peace.
No risk of sunburn
Perth has more hours of sunshine than any other city. In the spring and summer months, UV rays beat down. You can smear in water-resistant sunscreen, but once you are in the water, it will wear off. Evening swimming will guarantee you won’t get sunburned and your skin won’t get damaged by ultraviolet rays.
