I recently had a doctor's appointment and found out i was 180 lbs!!!! Okay, I dont' LOOK that fat but apparently I am. What kinda workouts shoudl I do to get rid of this and total amount of yardage per day? Also eating habits?

I don't think it is right to refer to BMI for swimming.
You just have to find the ideal weight where you feel best in the water.
If your goal is to loose weight and reduce fat, the best training would be swimming mornings and late afternoons about 3k-4k metres per practice everyday with a proper diet... Eating AFTER practices and not before. To loose fat you should stay away from sugars and pasta type things (i.e: anything with sugar, bread, patatoes, pasta.. etc..) and fat. I have lost about 15 pounds in 3 weeks this way and I feel perfectly well.
Concentrate on having long swimming sets with low intervals like everyone pointed out.
