I swam for years and always kept in great shape.
I quit for 2 years. After turning 41, which was 7 months ago, I started back up again. I swim 5 days a week for an hour, mostly freestyle. I'm in great shape again everywhere except for this stomach fat I can't seem to lose. Can anyone recommend any good workouts that can get rid of this?

With all the flip turns we do when swimming, simulating crunches, there is no reason any of us should have poochy stomachs. When you throw in "swimming with the core" that gives us even more stomach muscle stimulation. I guess it all boils down to weight and where our bodies choose to store it!
About drinking water when swimming. I have tried this and found that it tastes bad. Unless it is significantly colder than the pool it seems that I'm just drinking pool water. I'd rather put up with confused hunger signals!
