I want to tone my body, but I don’t like running or walking on the treadmill or outdoors. I enjoy playing in the swimming pool. I play in a 11ft pool where I am constantly moving my body to stay afloat. I also do 2-3 laps. I am learning how to dive. My heart rate goes up and I feel tired at the end. I have a good weight and I eat healthy.
Would doing this help me get toned? Do I need to do weights?
Thank you.
How many weeks or months do you have to wait to go swimming in the ocean or pool after you get a belly button piercing? My summer break is in like 2 and a half months and I was wondering if I got it in like 3 weeks, would I be able to go swimming by then? Or should I wait until after summer?
well im planning to try out for my highschool swimming team, but I have never been part of a swimming team before, i just love to swim and could swim pretty fast. I dont know the breastroke and other strokes…. i just know how to swim. Should i try out?
I’m 6′2-6′3 215ish pounds and I’ve gained 30 pounds in muscle mass over the last 7-8 months, but I’m around 16% body fat and I want to be near 9% so my abs will be ripped. Is swimming the best way to lose this body fat over running?
If so, how many meters should I be swimming each day? I mainly only do front crawl and breast stroke. Any other suggestions help. Thank you.
So I am planning to enroll in a summer swimming course at City College, but I am hesitant as to whether I should enroll myself into the beginning swimming class or the intermediate swimming class because I do know some of the basic swimming techniques but I dont know if enrolling myself into the intermediate swimming course will be too rigorous of a course for me. So for all those who have taken either of these classes at CCSF, could you kindly list down some of the things you learned in the beginning swimming class and/or the things you learned in the intermediate swimming class?
Thanks!
I just bought a gym membership at a facility which has a swimming pool dedicated to people who swim laps. How much time is required swimming to burn a fair number of calories. I would like to know what swimming form is the best all round body work out.

Would swimming in a pool on the moon (grant that it was a heated pool and not frozen) feel different than swimming in a pool on earth? How and why- some good ole math and equations to back up your answer would be greatly appreciated!
I’m considering swimming every other night for outdoor exercise. But at the moment, I want to lose weight, not gain muscle. Is swimming the best exercise for me? And what does it help with? Thanks.
