Swimming doesn’t only burn calories. It is also low impact.
- Water is about 800 times denser than air. This means you can work harder and burn more calories in a pool.
- Swimming can support up to 90% of the bodyís weight in the water, creating a safer exercise environment for people with injuries.
- The pressure of water means you can work to the same intensity as on land but with a heart rate of up to 20bpm lower.
