Fewer swimming lessons and lifeguard shortages make swimming even riskier this summer

Retrieved on: 
Monday, May 15, 2023

Gaps in swimming lessons, lifeguard shortages and climate change may make water-based activities even riskier this summer.

Key Points: 
  • Gaps in swimming lessons, lifeguard shortages and climate change may make water-based activities even riskier this summer.
  • Swimming pool closures at the start of the COVID-19 pandemic led to millions of Canadians missing swimming lessons.
  • With facilities now open across Canada, parents are having great difficulty enrolling their children in the limited swimming lessons that are currently available.

Lessons and lifeguards

    • However, the evidence on the value of swimming lessons in drowning prevention is not particularly strong.
    • In fact, some researchers have asserted that lessons might give parents a false sense of security, resulting in them not closely supervising their children.
    • So while there is concern about the lack of swimming lessons available to Canadians, an underrated drowning risk is swimming in unsupervised areas.
    • In Canada, fewer than one per cent of drownings occur in areas supervised by swimming instructors or lifeguards.

Dangerous swimming

    • As supervised hours at beaches and swimming pools are scaled back due to staff shortages, and the climate heats up, more people may turn to swimming in new or unsupervised locations to cool off.
    • People swimming in unfamiliar areas may not be aware of hidden hazards, like drop-offs or rocks, or be unfamiliar with rip currents.
    • Cold water can also be a danger, even during heatwaves in the summer months.
    • Experts suggest that water below 21 C can be dangerous.

Why weightlifting is beneficial before and after the menopause

Retrieved on: 
Monday, May 15, 2023

Fortunately, regular exercise – specifically weightlifting – can help mitigate these changes somewhat and improve overall health and wellbeing.

Key Points: 
  • Fortunately, regular exercise – specifically weightlifting – can help mitigate these changes somewhat and improve overall health and wellbeing.
  • Here are just some of the ways weightlifting can be beneficial to women going through the menopause.

1. Increases bone density

    • In fact, resistance exercises (such as weightlifting) are shown to stimulate the formation of new bone tissue, which can increase bone density.
    • Research has shown women who regularly resistance train had significant increases in bone mineral density, including in the hip and spine.

2. Maintains muscle mass

    • The menopause may contribute to this loss of muscle mass.
    • But research shows that weightlifting is an effective way for older adults – including women – to maintain and even increase their muscle mass and strength.

3. Boosts metabolism

    • Weightlifting can increase lean muscle mass, which in turn can help boost metabolism and burn more calories at rest.
    • This can be especially important for women just before and after the menopause, as hormonal changes can lead to a decrease in metabolism and an increase in body fat.

4. Improves mood

    • One study found women who participated in a 16-week combined resistance training programme reported improved mood and emotional wellbeing when compared to a programme which only included guidance on a healthy lifestyle.
    • Women who experience disturbed sleep and hot flushes may also experience reduced quality of life and mood.
    • The effects of weightlifting on mood may be due to the release of endorphins, which are natural painkillers and mood-boosting chemicals in the brain.

Getting started


    Given how many benefits weightlifting can have for women going through this period of their lives, you may be eager to get started. But if you’ve never tried resistance training or weightlifting before, here are a few things to bear in mind:
    Weightlifting can have many benefits – and doing it consistently may help you maintain good physical and mental health not only before and after the menopause, but as you get older too. Just be sure to consult your healthcare provider before starting any new exercise programme, especially if you have pre-existing health conditions or concerns.
