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?

I have the same problem to an extent. My abs are pretty hard but they aren't cut (4 pack or 6 pack).
A diet could help significantly. Through out my years (which isn't long) I've always ran and skated (hockey) before but never really had a proper diet...well unless you consider the "seefood" diet :D. To me working on your abs is more about the diet then the workout. Also, loosing weight is much more difficult if your already trim and in shape.
Running does help though. Burns more calories but is very harsh on the body. I actually picked up swimming since my knees were starting to really feel the stress of running.
Sorry for my incoherent rambling. I think running and a proper diet would get rid of most unwanted fat for almost anyone. Its rather funny because I always work out more/harder when I know I'm going to eat something that's horrible for my body later in the day...tonight its fried bread:):bouncing:
