I suck at swimming and I’m not a high level athlete but even 2 or 3 laps gets my heart rate up real quick. There are not too many exercises that engage that many muscle groups at once.

If your heart rate is not going up you’re either not really swimming at any reasonable speed or you are elite level athlete.
