  Swimming involves long duration training sessions once or twice a day or more. It involves both anaerobic and aerobic metabolism depending on the distance which can range from 50 to 1500 metres.

  Success in swimming depends on the production of huge amount of power combined with efficient technique and high degree of coordination making their sport look effortless. Competitive swimming involves high rates of energy turnover with relative emphasis on anaerobic glycolysis for sprint events and aerobic glycolysis for distance events.
