Flick through our Swimsuit catalogue and find the perfect costume for the beach this summer – and for getting some lengths in at your local pool.
Swimming freestyle (aka front crawl) can burn 100 calories in 10 minutes if you’re good at it. Plus it’ll tone your glutes, abdominals and shoulders.
Breaststroke burns just 60 calories in each 10 minutes – but you may be able to do it for longer and really see the benefits. These include expanding the lungs, chest muscles, inner thigh, bra-strap area, shoulders, triceps, legs and hamstrings. But don’t do this stroke with your head above water!
Backstroke burns 80 calories in each 10 minutes. Tones stomach, buttocks, legs, arms and shoulders, helps elongate your hip flexors.
Butterfly burns 150 calories per 10 minutes – but it’s the hardest stroke to master. For your efforts, you’ll get upper-body strength and toned chest, abdominals, arms, triceps and back muscles. Your body is stretched and more flexible.
Try mixing freestyle, breaststroke and backstroke for a good swimming pool workout – and once you’ve improved your skills in these, give the butterfly a go.
