Saltwater Pools & High Blood Pressure: What You Need to Know

Yes, in general, saltwater pools are considered safe for people with high blood pressure. The salt content in saltwater pools is typically much lower than the salt content in seawater, and it is not likely to have a significant effect on blood pressure. In fact, some studies have even suggested that swimming in saltwater pools may help to lower blood pressure. However, it is always important to talk to your doctor before starting a new exercise program, including swimming.
