Just like any other form of exercise, swimming helps increase the endurance and strength of your muscles at the same time. Depending on how fast or how slow you swim, you can simply build-up the strength of your muscles or you can have a good cardiovascular work-out in addition to building muscle strength and endurance. Each time you swim, all the muscles in your body becomes involved. The resistance that your body receives as each bodily movement comes into contact with the pool water increases the strength and endurance of your muscles thus you tend to get a lean and fit body regardless of how fast or how many laps you swim in a day.
