A government exercise expert has said swimming is a waste of time for most people because their technique is so bad they fail to gain any noticeable health benefit. It’s said the average person’s ability in the swimming pool is not enough to maintain the level of intensity which will enable them to lose weight.
Dr Dane Vishnubala, the GP exercise champion for Public Health England, said many people who come to the pool to get in shape simply splash around using a “doggy paddle hybrid” and spent their time talking with friends.
