How long can you tread water?
In average conditions most people would be able to tread water for up to a maximum of two to three hours – however, if you’re properly trained in the technique this can increase to over eight hours.
How many calories does treading water burn?
Tread water as hard as you can for periods of 30 seconds with a rest of 30 seconds floating on your back. Do this for 30 bursts and you’ll burn 300 calories
Why can’t some people tread water?
You need to be able to position yourself vertically – if you’re horizontal you’ll be swimming and not treading water – it just takes a lot of practice and help from an instructor if you’re really struggling.
