Will swimming without knowing the techniques build muscle and burn calories and help with back pain?
Jan 21, 2016

Dr. Zakia Dimassi Pediatrics
You will definitely be burning calories while swimming even if you swim without following a professional technique, because you're putting your muscles into motion and your body has to overcome the water resistance - so it expends extra energy in the process. But if your aim is to build well structured shoulder and back muscles, then the efficient and guaranteed way to achieve this is by first receiving proper training in the different swimming styles, and of course perseverance in practice.
