Swim training for fitness
Swimming builds endurance for the whole body and puts little strain on the joints. A planned workout with intervals is more effective than swimming the same distance at the same pace every time.
You will need
- Goggles and cap
- A watch or swim watch
- Kickboard and pull buoy if needed
