Mindfulness & Present Moment Awareness:
The focus required for finswimmingfeeling the water, and navigating your surroundings can help you stay grounded in the present moment, reducing anxious thoughts and worries.
Improved Mood & Well-being:
By engaging multiple senses and providing a mental respite from daily stimuli, finswimming can have immediate positive effects on mood and contribute to long-term improvements in mental health.

How Finswimming Adds To These Benefits:
Increased Exertion:
Fins can increase the intensity of your swimming workout, leading to a greater release of endorphins and a more significant impact on stress and mood.
Focus on Movement:
The added challenge of using fins can further enhance the mindfulness aspect of swimming, requiring even more focus on body movement.
Engaging Senses:
Finswimming can be a highly engaging activity, and the extra effort can provide a greater sense of presence in the water and a stronger connection to your physical sensations, all of which contribute to reducing anxiety.
