Swimming can burn many more calories than other forms of exercise, as the combination of muscle strengthening and cardiovascular exercise is ideal. However, how many calories you burn depends on the intensity of your swim, your gender, and your age.
Tips for getting started
If we have the opportunity to have the supervision of a coach at the beginning, it will help us learn all the basic movements correctly and improve those that we had already learned incorrectly.
At first, swimmers can start with a few minutes of exercise and slowly increase the duration and at the same time the meters they cover in the sea or in a pool.
