How To Get A Swimmers Body

A classic swimmers shape is often described as a V-shape back, broad shoulders, defined abdominals and an overall toned shape. How you get a swimmers shape depends on how long you can spend working out.

Is it as simple as swimming a lot?

If you are under 10 and genetically gifted, maybe. Male professional swimmers will spend 4 – 6 hours a day in the pool plus do other dry land work with resistance (weights) and cardiovascular training. Their shape will have developed as their testosterone was pumping in their formative early teenage years.

The fastest way to get a swimmers body

Just swimming is NOT the best way to get a swimmers body! Shape advancement depends on challenging the muscles with resistance to make them grow bigger.

Using the right type of exercises you can increase muscle in key areas using resistance training (weights). Unless you are doing hours each day in the pool, you will only get limited muscle growth as you need to increase the resistance to further stimulate growth.

Swimming is a great form of cardiovascular exercise but it will only develop the pull muscles. This leads to injuries and the body becoming unbalanced. Professional swimmers will ensure they develop their push muscles with weight training. The best way to get a swimmers body is using weights as your primary means of increasing lean muscle through resistance training.

To reveal the muscle you must reduce the covering layer of subcutaneous fat. To get the perfect swimmers shape you should be aiming for no more than 12% body fat. Cardiovascular exercise like swimming or rowing will reduce the fat if combined with the right nutrition. Nutrition is also the key to accelerating muscle growth.

How to get an amazing body is as simple as increasing muscle and reducing fat. But this must be taken a step further if you want the shape of an athletic swimmer as opposed to just being muscle bound. You must have a clear goal of what overall shape you are aiming for as it is the proportions of toned muscle that makes the attractive shape of The Swimmers Body.

News From Barcelona Swimming Pool Show

Well we're back from Barcelona. We had a great time, Barcelona's such a great city (even when it rains). The show was much quieter than previous years, still good though. Didn't really find much to tell you about. Lots of the smaller stalls with safety items just weren't there. I was impressed with a product called SWIMFIN. I've added a link at the side if you're interested in this product. It's a fun idea to help kids stay afloat and balanced in the water. I like this product and I've heard from several friends in the UK that they are becoming very popular as swimming aids during official swimming lessons. They come in an assortment of colours, so you'll be sure to find a colour your child likes.

I did see another range of products I loved. They're not in any way, shape or form safety items though. They're for kids and adults who are already good swimmers, but so much fun.
I might have to add a fun page with my own safety warning added. Watch out for more information coming soon.

Other than that it was the general pool cleaning ideas, pumps, heaters, spa's and pool builders.
No new and exciting products this time around. Oh well.

Best wishes and STAY SAFE

p.s. I've added a couple of new products down the side for you to check out.

Two Days Until Barcelona

Only two days until we head of for the Barcelona Swimming Pool Exhibition (and a little bit of shopping).

Richard is busy getting the pools in tip top condition, we've had strong winds and lots of leaves and rubbish blowing about. I'm not expecting to see him very early tonight. Mind you, I don't think many people will be brave enough to be swimming in the pools. The weather is certainly on the chilly side now.

So, we've got two full days at the exhibition. Richard will be on the look out for new, improved ways to clean the pools, heating methods, repair techniques and tools, etc, and I'm searching out new products for our safety line. Keep an eye out next week to see what we picked up at the show and new products we'll hopefully be adding to our safety range.

I'll catch up with you all next week and let you know how we got on.

Bye for now.
