Swimming Season

Swimming has numerous psychological benefits. It can improve mood, decrease anxiety and depression, and have a positive effect on mental health. Swimming is energizing and provides stress relief by loosening both the body and mind. It also improves mood and increases self-confidence by providing a well-toned body. The average sea temperatures along the coast of Kenya range from about 23°C in July to about 29°C in April, providing comfortable swimming conditions year-round. While swimming in the morning has benefits like increased energy and empty pools, it can also cause stiff muscles and lack of energy due to low body temperature and metabolism in the early hours.
