I'm not able to ride the bike out here in Lebanon, so am going swimming instead.
I manage to go at least once a week, sometimes twice.
I've never been a very good swimmer, but I know it's giving me good exercise.
The question is, how many lengths (of a 25m pool) constitute a good workout? Should I be mixing up the different strokes? Should I be constantly swimming or is it OK to stop for a breather after every couple of lengths?
Any other tips on swimming as a fitness tool would be appreciated
