Questions about swimming lessons? We'll answer you!
How far to start swimming?
If you start swimming, an objective of 100 to 200 meters per lesson is a very good start. The more you will feel comfortable in the water and by swimming, the more you can increase the distances.
But to encourage you, the best is to set a goal of time, rather than distance. For example, tell yourself that you are going to swim for 15 minutes, taking short breaks.
Is it okay to swim every day?
Swimming is a gentle sport that poses little to no risk. You can therefore swim every day without risking injury if you want it.
But your pace will depend in particular on your objectives and of your physical condition :
- If you start, YOU quickly feel muscle fatigue And articular, or even potential pain.
- If you have the habit of swimming often, swim every day can be part of your workout, especially for competition.
There is therefore no not necessarily a contraindication to swimming every day. But you should know that your body still needs rest to recharge your batteries.
Especially that if you swim just for leisure or for fitness, you do not have no need to swim 7 days a week. A rhythm of 1 day out of 2 is already very good!
But in the idea, swimming every day is not a bad initiative. He better to swim a little every day, rather than 3 hours, only once a week.
What is the first stroke to learn?
There breaststroke where the crawl are often the very first strokes that you learn during your swimming lessons. For what ? Because they allow you to move easily in the water.

It's about a swimming underwater with fairly technical movements. While “classic” breaststroke, which is swum while keeping your head above water.
What is the hardest stroke to learn?
THE butterfly East probably the hardest stroke to learn. He is difficult to swim, because he requires a lot of strength and good coordination.
But what makes the complicated butterfly, these are especially the precise breathing technique and movements.But the breaststroke, as we told you just above, is also a swimming difficult to learn !
