Interpretation for a woman
Dreams about swimming provide a business and personal forecast. It all depends on the specifics of the remembered picture. Splashing with children means distributing attention correctly. Put family first. This will definitely bring benefits, satisfaction, and material dividends.
Married
Visiting a spa pool is a good sign. Your spouse is proud of your appearance and secretly envies himself. Immerse yourself headlong - plunge into a sea of turbulent passions. A hint of boredom, which pushes for love adventures. Dirty - an indication to abandon adultery in favor of fidelity. The husband finds out about the betrayal and files for divorce.
Falling into the depths suddenly means an unplanned pregnancy. If you passionately dream of offspring, then the desired conception will soon occur.
I dreamed of a husband swimming quickly along a water path, rejoice. The loved one devoted all his efforts to creating decent conditions. The former splashed around - happiness in the current couple. Learning to swim is the time to think about your own business. You have a knack for entrepreneurship.
To an unmarried girl
Lucky share. Friends quietly support and help me get settled. A guardian angel is always nearby.
If you dreamed of a romantic idyll about swimming together with your current partner - wait for an offer. There is a naked stranger nearby - be wary. A certain man is making plans for seduction. There will be no long-term connection. And the breakup will bring a lot of grief.
A passionate kiss among the purest streams - to reciprocity. The lonely one will meet her fate just one of these days.
Admire the sparkling surface and notice a shark - your honest name will be discredited by a clever rival. The one you love will be taken away by another. A huge container with fish - for a child. We fed waterfowl, caught one - think about the means of protection.
Pregnant
It's good to see other people's water procedures. The picture promises good health, a successful resolution of the burden. Your own unpleasant ablution is advice to get checked. Something is going wrong. It's better to see a doctor.
Visiting the pool - cons
Disadvantages of visiting the pool and swimming:
- Chlorine used to disinfect pool water can cause allergic skin reactions, eye irritation and dermatitis.
- With constant swimming in the pool, a woman's figure becomes masculine due to the strong development of the shoulder muscles (with a couple of sessions a week and swims of no more than five hundred meters, the figure, of course, will not suffer).
- The color of a swimsuit fades from chlorinated water (you should not take an expensive swimsuit to the pool).
Love sphere
Why do unmarried or single people dream of a pool filled with clear water? If they not only saw it, but also swam there, the dream book promises the beginning of a passionate romance. It will bring a lot of bright emotions and leave wonderful memories. There is a possibility that this connection will be more serious than planned.
For a girl to swim there in a dream, foretells attention from men towards her. She may soon meet someone who will change her life for the better.
Did you dream of swimming in a deep pool? The interpretation of the dream is as follows: big changes are coming (in the business sphere, on the personal front) for the better. However, you should not take rash or hasty actions, because the cost of a mistake can be high.
Expert comments
The editors of COLADY asked certified experts whether it is advisable to visit the pool.
Galina Prokopyeva, PRO expert Sportmaster PRO, winner of Russian marathon races, has a sports category in swimming
Swimming is suitable for everyone, even pregnant and breastfeeding women.
You can practice at any age: from birth to old age. Swimming is good for your joints and spine, it relieves stress and relaxes you well after a hard day at work. A big plus is that it is very difficult to get injured in the pool. This is a very affordable sport. You will need a sports swimsuit with anti-chlorine treatment, non-slip flip-flops, a silicone cap and swimming goggles - all this is quite budget-friendly.
If you work with a trainer, then in 2-3 weeks you will master the basics of basic styles and prepare for the swimming season. In addition, special training for weight loss is possible in the pool. For this, 45 minutes will be enough, of which only 50% is active swimming at a fast pace.
A month, 2-3 workouts a week and the result will be noticeable. In this case, the pool lanes can be compared to a runner's lanes in a stadium - the pool provides good functional training, but without impact loads. Endurance increases, blood supply to the body improves. Swimming makes the heart stronger; it is a workout for all muscle groups, cardiovascular and respiratory systems.
The pool is an excellent and non-traumatic way of post-Covid recovery. It is often recommended to walk after an illness, and you also need to be able to walk. In this sense, a pool is even preferable.
Pavel Titov, PRO-expert Sportmaster PRO, snowboarder, has a sports category in swimming
The swimming pool is a very good way of rehabilitation. Swimming reduces the load on the knee joints and improves blood circulation. Muscles and ligaments are stretched and discomfort is minimized.
It is the primary treatment for joint pain for snowboarders, skiers and runners.
After Covid, the pool restores the vascular and respiratory systems well. In this case, it is important to load up gradually and swim at your own pace.
Swimming is the best remedy. The pool can be recommended to anyone, of any age.
Dream Interpretation Meneghetti
In this interpreter, the image is associated with a person’s desire to gain independence, as well as with his sexual desires. Water is a symbol that, in the mind of a psychoanalyst, is related to intimacy. With the help of dreams, you can understand whether a person feels attractive or suffers from numerous complexes.
If in a vision you dream of another person and you move towards him, in fact this is the object of your sexual desire. But swimming away from someone is the personification of the fact that you are trying to avoid responsibility. You dream of transferring it to someone else, perhaps unconsciously.
In some cases, night vision means that you are not meeting other people's expectations. They are probably asking you for something that you are unable to give. In this case, you need to do not what is expected of you, but what you yourself want.

Follow these simple rules, and the pool will become a source of exceptional joy, health and the most positive emotions for you.
Vanga's Dream Book
Vanga said that swimming in a new and beautiful pool predicts a successful period in the dreamer’s life. You will gain financial independence, and your health will not let you down. But to dive unsuccessfully and hit the water is a symbol of the fact that you are afraid to take the initiative. This fear prevents you from achieving success in life.
If you dreamed that you began to drown, you would find yourself in an unpleasant situation. You will not look your best in the eyes of others. Swimming in sea waters is a symbol that you are striving for pleasure. It's just that you might not deserve them yet.
If in your vision you are on board a ship, this predicts major changes
It is important to pay attention to what the water looked like overboard. If she was calm and transparent, then you are following the right path. Moving against the current is a symbol of the difficulties that will have to be faced.
