How do

I burn

maximum

kJ in the

pool?

ANSWER Swimming is amazing for fitness. The water resistance

means you work five times harder than running outdoors. For best

results, stick to freestyle (use other strokes as a warm-up). Use the

pool clock to gauge your times swimming 200m, 100m, 50m and

25m, then do some pace work. If your 200m time is three minutes,

aim for 2 x 200m in 4:00, 2 x in 3:50, 2 x in 3:40, 2 x in 3:30, 2 x in

3:20. Slowly increase speed and decrease rest time as you improve.
