Well i am not much converse in this field but I do think being underwater for a long time can have its adverse effects. Since we are holding our breath and limiting the air intake to out lungs hence affecting our brain and normal blood flow in the system.

A major benefit of swimming is the near weightlessness, which can help swimmers strengthen their shoulders and abdominal muscles. The exercise also strengthens the heart and helps decrease problems associated with diabetes, asthma, high blood pressure and allergies.

Will you provide us with a link where we can read about the swimming pool water without clorine study?

I’m not sure about the effects on the brain but there is a study of adolescent students appears to have been well designed, comparing a number of asthma measures in several sub-groups with different types of allergies, taken from across three schools. As one of these schools sanitised its swimming pool water without chlorine, the researchers were able to use it to provide a comparison group of swimmers not exposed to chlorine in their pool use.

Swimming obviously doesn’t affect your brain, look how clever dolphins are!

Some interesting comments. I thought I heard somewhere that brain capacity in a more healty brain is more than the opposite. Until more research is conducted however, we can’t really be certain. Good luck on your project!

I’m in agreement with Rhonda. I don’t think there is enough scientific evidence to warrant that it can lead to any type of brain damage. There needs to be further studies done to come to conclusion.

I used to do alot of swimming back when I was in high school. My coach thought me all the fundamentals and never mentioned any sort of bad effects on the brain. The only concern I would take into consideration would be if you went diving in very low depths in the ocean. I would assume that could cause some sort of pressure build on your brain. But regular swimming in a pool should not have any effects.

Is what your saying a scientific fact or just your opinion?

No way can swimming affect your brain. I would only guess that if you did go deep enough it might cause some pressure to build up on your brain. But just casual swimming in a pool or at beach should pose no problem.
