A great way to keep fit, tone up and be totally winning!

Although swimming doesn't burn so many calories as other sports the fact that it puts less strain on your body means you can do it for longer and have fun in the process.

FRONT CRAWL: Great for toning and strengthening your upper back, arms and shoulders, it's also a serious calorie burner.

BACK STROKE: Fantastic for your arms, back, stomach and posture.

BREAST STROKE: A great buttock and bust booster but burns fewer calories because it's more leisurely.

Tips: Make it fun. Take the kids, throw in some races, a few fun games and you'll burn away the calories as well as the hours.
