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!

Just stay with it Loretta. Your goals are not much different than the rest of us. I wanted to get back in shape and I do like to compete, despite the fact that my most recent meet took a major toll on my nerves. When I started back in the water in January of 2001 I weighed about 155 and within about two months I gained 10 more pounds. I'm now down to about 140 (I'm not tall, by the way) and my old pants are too loose. I'm sure I won't lose any more weight ot I'll be back where I was in High School. I think I've leveled off now.
So, just stay with it and you'll see a difference in how you look, just like Bert said.
