To maintain fitness, swimming for just 30 minutes, 3 times a week is considered healthy. Since swimming engages your entire body more intensely than land-based activities, this equates to approximately 45 minutes of a workout outside of the pool.
According to research, incorporating a regular swimming routine, alongside a healthy diet, will help you stay in shape. Swimming engages all muscle groups, provides cardiovascular benefits, and is a low-impact exercise. Therefore, 30 minutes of swimming equates to a more extended workout out of the pool.
Here's a breakdown of the recommendations:
- Frequency: 3 times a week
- Duration: 30 minutes per session
- Equivalent: 45-minute workout out of the pool.
