Swimming Fitness

Swimming fitness tones your upper and lower body simultaneously because you are using almost all of your major muscle groups, and therefore provides all-over body toning.

There is a low risk for swimming injuries because there is no stress on your body due to the extremely low levels of impact on the joints and bones. If it is a safe daily workout routine, swimming is perfect because you can rigorously work out with a reduced chance of injury. Many athletes supplement their training with swimming as it provides effective cardiovascular workouts that have make significant increases in cardiovascular endurance.

As your cardiovascular fitness increases and you are able to swim longer distances, your resting heart rate and respiratory rate will be reduced, making blood flow to the heart and lungs more efficient. Swimming is also a very effective form of calorie burning and therefore weight loss. On average, a swimmer can burn as many calories in an hour as a runner who runs six miles in one hour. Simply put, some call swimming the perfect form of exercise.
