Swimming is an excellent aerobic exercise, but considerations should be made before starting a program. For the exercise beginner, low-fit, or non-swimmer it might be a difficult activity to maintain the appropriate intensity for the recommended 30 to 60 minutes. Also, because the focus of swimming is on the smaller upper body musculature and swimming is a less efficient activity than cycling or walking, one can easily exceed their target heart rate range with swimming. Therefore, those with heart conditions, should address a swimming program with their physician before starting.
Water aerobics and water walking are good alternatives for those with joint pain. The buoyancy provided by the water eases stress on the joints.
Swimming with good condition of water is also important
I do agree,but where to go for good swimming pools.
