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!

Hi Loretta,
I've recently lost 50-55 pounds over a period of about 7 months by following the Weight Watcher diet. My goals are pretty much like yours ... fitness and competing, although I didn't compete until I joined USMS in September. The most rapid loss I experienced was when I got back into the pool after an absence of 13 years. And to repeat what everyone else says, I sleep better and have more energy than ever.
Just be patient amd you will be amazed what happens! And ... best of all, you will be glad you did.
Best of luck to you.
