Can swimming build up your stamina and speed?

Question

i heard swimming can build up stamina but can it also increase my speed when I run ?

Answer 1

Absolutely it can.  It works your entire body in a balanced manner, strengthening all parts.

Answer 2

yes i think it does

Answer 3

it can but only if u know what to do

When u kick your legs your leg muscels build up resulting in faster running.

but if u only use your arms, u increase mobillity for arms.Boxers do that for faster hits

Also if u want to run faster move your arms like a chicken dance and move them as fast as possible

Answer 4

Yes. Any exercise does and will help. Doing the breast stroke and or the back stroke will tone you up quicker. High diving tests your nerves.

Answer 5

i dont think so.

but it does build stamina
