Swimming and its impact on overall health

Equipo de natación “Orgullo Rochesteriano” arrasa en la “Copa de la Amistad”

El deporte es una parte integral y fundamental de la vida en el Rochester, siendo la natación una disciplina que ha tenido un gran impacto en nuestra comunidad. El equipo de natación del Club Deportivo Rochester ha demostrado su alto desempeño en la reciente competencia de la “Copa de la Amistad”, realizada el pasado 15 y 16 de abril en Girardot, Cundinamarca, obteniendo un total de 47 medallas; 20 de oro, 12 de plata y 15 de bronce.

Swimming has not only led to success for the Rochester College team, but has also had a significant impact on the overall health of our students. This sport is an excellent cardiovascular exercise, which helps improve muscular endurance, strength and flexibility, as well as reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease.

In addition, it also has mental health benefits, as it can reduce stress and improve mood. At Rochester, we recognize the importance of a comprehensive education that includes both academic and athletic training and the promotion of overall health.

Es por eso que nos sentimos muy orgullosos de nuestros 18 nadadores, su entrenador Norberto León y nuestro Director del Club Deportivo, Iván Alfaro. Su éxito en la “Copa de la Amistad” demuestra los cuatro criterios de alto desempeño: constancia de propósito, trabajo en equipo, excelencia y mejoramiento continuo, y salud integral.

We congratulate Club Deportivo Rochester for their outstanding performance in this competition; they are an example to follow for all those who seek to improve their health and well-being through sports.

We invite you to continue promoting healthy physical and mental habits; eating a balanced diet, physical activity, sleeping well, drinking water, meditating and other practices in favor of integral health.
