Heart disease remains a leading cause of mortality among women globally. Regular swimming sessions strengthen the heart muscle and improve circulation, reducing the risk of cardiovascular diseases. The ‘Million Women Study’ found that women who swam twice a week had a 20% lower risk of heart disease and stroke. Having an Origin indoor pool at home offers a convenient and effective way to incorporate swimming into your weekly routine.

Women are more prone to osteoporosis and bone density loss, particularly after menopause. Swimming offers a gentle, low-impact workout and helps improve bone health by providing weight-bearing resistance without stressing the joints.

Swimming has been shown to positively impact hormonal balance in women, particularly during menopause and menstruation. During these periods, women often experience symptoms like hot flushes, mood swings, and anxiety. Swimming, especially in cooler water, has been found to alleviate these symptoms by regulating body temperature and releasing stress-relieving hormones.

Swimming’s rhythmic, meditative nature can promote relaxation and reduce stress levels by releasing endorphins, the body's natural feel-good hormones. It's a meditative activity that calms the mind, alleviates anxiety and improves overall mental well-being.
