I read somewhere (I can't recall it now) that swimming does not help much with weight loss, and that it doesn't burn as many calories as other sports (such as running). Is this actually true?
Swim Magazine had an article about this last year. Connie was in it. There are many on this board that can show that you can lose weight swimming and I also see many in the pool too. For me, weight loss is all about what I put in my mouth. Fitness is all about how I move my body. Swimming is one of the greatest all around fitness exercises, so the combination of watching what I eat and swimming and weight training has allowed me to lose 35 pounds and keep it off for almost 2 years. And even though it is about what you put in your mouth, taper time is not easy because I tend to gain at that time. :0
