Swimming with Proper Breathing to Reduce Pressure on the Neck and Lower Back – For Adults Over 60

Swimming with Proper Breathing to Reduce Pressure on the Neck and Lower Back – For Adults Over 60 Swimming is often recommended as one of the safest and healthiest exercises for adults over 60. But for many people, swimming still leads to neck stiffness, lower back pain, and discomfort after just a few laps. If that sounds familiar, the problem may not be your age—or your swimming ability. It may be the way you breathe. In this video, we explore why improper breathing during swimming places unnecessary pressure on the neck and lower back, especially as the body changes with age. You’ll learn how small breathing adjustments can reduce strain on the spine, improve comfort in the water, and help you swim longer without pain. This gentle, science-informed approach is designed specifically for adults over 60 who want to stay active, protect their spine, and enjoy swimming as a form of healing—not harm. #SwimmingOver60 #SeniorFitness #PainFreeSwimming
