Can anyone give me some advice as to the best way to lose weight while swimming?
I have just started back swimming - after not competing for 20 years (since High School). For the last two weeks I swam twice a week. I will be swimming, at a minimum, 3 times a week from now on.
I have two goals with Masters swimming - one is to compete in swim meets, and the other is to get back in shape.
My goal is to lose 35 lbs. Is there a good, quick and healthy way to acheive this goal? It seem's like I've put on 2 lbs during the past 2 weeks. Is this because muscle is heavier than fat?
HELP! I would appreciate any suggestions! Thanks!

I feel like a one-man expedition to try and get people to change the way they look at themselves. Two years ago, I was very fat and out of shape. I weighed 187 pounds. Today I am less fat and in pretty good shape. I weigh 189 pounds. I can now get into pants that did not fit 2 years ago, but I do fill out my t-shirts more fully. What's the deal? I think that re-distribution of mass and conversion of fat areas to muscle areas is of real importance. So, my advise to you is to check on percentage of body fat and keep the measuring tape handy. By the way, I also feel better, sleep better and (so they tell me) look better ! It's your shape (pun intended) that matters................ :)
