Lido, by Christopher Beanland, has arrived just in time, with many lidos now reopened – a perfect moment to delve into the beauty of outdoor swimming pools.

Kick your swim workouts up a notch with these fast-paced, low-impact interval routines. Whether you're looking for a beginner swim workout or swimming workouts for cardio, you'll find a swimming workout plan that suits your needs.

If you’re ready to jump into a new workout, try this revolutionary water routine. “The buoyancy of water lessens the pull of gravity, making you feel lighter and making balance simple, while also reducing impact on your knees,” says fitness expert Chris Freytag, who created this routine. “This makes the same moves that would be difficult to do on land feel easier in the pool.” The payoff is powerful: This workout blasts calories, tones trouble spots, and boosts muscle strength.
