Weight Loss

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?

  • I have found the more I swim, the bigger my back, arms, and chest get and the smaller my waist gets. I haven't lost much weight, but I've gained muscle. Maybe that's why swimming seemingly doesn't work for weight loss. Maybe you ARE losing weight (fat) while NOT losing weight (muscles!) Just some thoughts.
