Especially for distance swimmers, cardiovascular fitness, a health related fitness component, is extremely important because it keeps your heart and lungs working their best for a long period of time.

Swimmers need high cardio fitness because of the amount of oxygen a swimmer will need throughout the race must get to all the different areas of the body as well as to decrease how fast a swimmer will become fatigued by removing carbon-dioxide from the body at a faster rate.
