Nowadays, water sports are becoming increasingly popular and in demand. Swimming, water polo, diving, synchronized swimming, water aerobics not only benefit from classes, but also give a powerful positive charge.
About the benefits of swimming
Perhaps the most common and affordable type of training for the masses has been and still is swimming. No one will dispute the fact that water activities, and in particular swimming, have a complex effect on the human body.
Unfortunately, in Russian climatic conditions, especially in abnormal summers, swimming is possible all year round only in the pool. In Tushino, for example, there are modern complexes that meet all the necessary criteria for safe swimming and maximum enjoyment of sports.
In the north of the capital (especially those who have visited the Tushino park), the pool can be found without difficulty. The following complexes operate in this area:
- "Azure" (st. V. Latsisa, possession 26, metro station "Glider");
- Panton (Svobody St. 56, metro station "Glider");
- "Water area" (st. V. Latsisa d. 8, metro station "Glider").
Improvement, massage effect, effective weight loss and maintenance of a figure, beautiful posture are just a few arguments in favor of the choice of water sports.
It should be noted that the whole of this complex of effects on the body is especially good when swimming in sea water, but, being constantly engaged, you can achieve the same effect in a regular pool. Lazurny in North Tushino, for example, has 5 tracks 25 meters long. Several visits per day on such long paths will definitely provide the result, like at sea. Let's take a closer look at the Lazurny indoor pool in Tushino.
Pool Description
The swimming pool in Tushino "Lazurny" opened in the spring of 2009, and now it is a great option for wellness training. The Lazurny complex has 5 tracks 25 meters long and 2.5 meters wide each. The size of the bath is 25x14 meters. The depth of the bowl is from 1.2 m to 1.8 m. Not all pools in Tushino park (and the capital as a whole) can boast of such dimensions.
The temperature regime complies with the norms and requirements of SNiPa and FINA and is 27-28 degrees. Modern and competent cleaning, daily regular measurements of water purified to the standards required for drinking, allow swimming without fear and strengthen your health.
Pool water treatment
Water purification is as follows.
At the first stage, water is disinfected with ozone. In another way, this method is called ozonation. Gas destroys all viruses, including even hepatitis B virus, and all bacteria completely, while creating a feeling of freshness.
Next is the cleaning of mechanical impurities. At this stage, sand filters are turned on. With their help, cleaning is fast and efficient. With this filtration, particles are retained up to 20-25 microns.
The next step is the chemical oxidation of water. Purification with sodium hypochlorite disinfects and disinfects the pool water in Tushino. Sodium hypochlorite is very effective in combating various microorganisms and is not dangerous to humans.
According to the standards of the International Swimming Association, water is softened to the required pH of 7.2-7.6.
The bottom of the pool is cleaned by a robotic method.
In the cold season, for the comfort of visitors, the floors in the pool and locker rooms are heated.
