Hi all I am new here. I am wondering what is a good routine to swim and lose weight? I am close to 250lbs right now and don't look good fat LOL. was doing some research and found an article written by USMS' own Bill Volckening (if he posts here, hi Bill!) that talks about how he lost weight by swimming and changing his diet, but he don't talk about the swimming much, just the eating. LOL and i've had enough eating.
His story is very inspriational though and I want tofollow suit! I've started a diet but I need help with swiming! ANy suggestions?? ThxU!

See I tend to disagree with the fact that you have to do other exercises besides swimming to loose weight. I don't do any weight training, yet I have lost all the weight that I needed to from only swimming (I mean a lot). I won't do weight training b/c no matter how light the weight I bulk up rather quickly. I watched what I ate and swam 5 times a week and did just fine. I believe that the intensity and the variety of workouts that I did is what made the difference.
SORRY FOR THE DOUBLE POST
