What is a good swimming workout?

This is a great free web site for generating an endless number of workouts no matter what your level or goal.  http://www.swiminfo.com/swim-cgi/\nI would spend at least two weeks focusing on the basics and getting your feel for the water back: lots of sculling, underwater streamlining, and drilling.  Some Olympic level coaches choose to drill for a full month at the beginning of the season before they allow their athletes to swim normally.  This is because it is easy to cheat on your strokes and build bad habits when you are out of shape.  Plus stroke technique is so important to overall swimming.  After a few weeks of drilling and sculling, start with workouts that build an aerobic base.

Swimming is the best exercise. Do stomach crunchs (where you go up half way) to flatten your tummy.

swimming is the best and most complete exercise of all.  You get strength, flexibility and a cardio work out.  Not to mention the mental health benefits of being in the water.  Of course it would keep you young!  Any good non-impact exercise that conditions the whole body would keep anyone young!\n\nJust remember though, youth is all in the mind.  You're only as old as the person you feel.

Well you should do all strecthing like everything else, ur legs, ur arms especially. i like to go to the gym and life some light waits and work on my legs, there is a machin that is like rowing a boat that really helps ur arms get the motion of swimming. Just go to a gym and try their different machines. it will work wonders!!! good luck!

Swimming. Just relax in the water and swim whenever you feel like it. But try to do it every day for at least an hour. Swimming strengthens every muscle in your body and it helps your lungs.

Swim, swim, swim. Practice your rescue strokes (side stroke, elementary back, heads-up free & heads-up breast stroke) as well as your regular swim strokes. Practice treading water without using your hands and practice submerging underwater. Running on the sand is great. If you weight train, cut it out until you're done with your certification. Good luck.

Actually one of the safest ways to work out almost every single muscle group in your body is--------drumroll please------ SWIMMING!!  Swimming develops excellent lean muscle mass in all parts of the body as well as improving breathing efficiency and heart health.  Consider adding it to your exercise program.  If you don't believe, go look at swimmer's bodies.  IF that doesn't convince you, nothing will. ;)

Swimming is the best all round exercise

You could. Swimming burns a lot of calories as compared to other exercises. As long as the number of calories you burn is more than the number you consume, you will lose weight. So swimming is a good start. Good exercise and eating right will help with losing weight.

swimming is undoubtedly the most worthwhile excercise as no other sport or activity allows you to utilise as many muscles as you do in swimming. It is extremely good for your lungs and it wont be long before you notice an improvement in your stamina and overall phsique, however in saying this it takes dedication just like any other endeavour.

Swimming is the best excercise for two major reasons.\n\n1 - It is a total body work out. All muscles are worked.\n\n2 - It is non-impact. Meaning your ligaments, tendons, and bones are not exposed to potentally damaging stress. Swimmers do not have bad knees or ankles or backs. Swimmers joints are not stressed in the manner that a runner or a cyclist or a basketball player would.\n\nYou can swim for life. 90 years old 9 years old 9 months old.
