The Benefits of Swimming

As part of our well-being packages, you can include a Sport Central Day Pass for your delegates, giving them access to the pool and the gym facilities here on campus.


So how will a swim benefit your delegates' experience? Offering your delegates activities throughout their stay that can boost their well-being, demonstrates an element of care towards them but can also improve the engagement with your conference content. Swimming, in particular, can offer great benefits to memory, mood and cognitive function.

"Regular swimming has been shown to improve memory, cognitive function, immune response and mood. Swimming may also help repair damage from stress and forge new neural connections in the brain."

As a low impact cardio exercise that can improve mental well-being, swimming can exert 90% less strain on the body than an equivalent running workout. Swimming, in particular, can therefore offer exercise for people of different ages, abilities and is often a safe form of exercise during pregnancy.



One of the most common complaints from delegates staying away from home, especially in a city which they may not know, is not getting a good nights sleep and feeling tired for the day ahead of them.


Offering delegates the opportunity to work out or use the pool can not only help them feel at home with their typical routine but can improve their ability to sleep at night by reducing the chemicals that cause stress.


Exercise releases serotonin which can lower stress hormones like cortisol and adrenaline which may be heightened whilst delegates are out of the comfort zone of their day-to-day routines.



Offering a pass can do one of two things. Firstly, you can help those with a gym or swim in their daily routine feel at home and encourage them to continue their beneficial routines or you can introduce delegates to a new hobby that could extend past their stay in Newcastle.
