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!

That's what I'm saying... not that you need to run and do other stuff, but more like don't over eat and stuff yourself, eat a normal amount of food and don't overeat to replace the engery you've burned off from swimming if you want to lose weight...
I probably didn't write that the best way. :)
Basically the study was saying that if you're a swimmer, you tend to eat more, so if you're doing it to lose weight and you're eating more.. then you're going to have to add in like running or something else... but if you are watching what you eat, and swimming, and not adding in food, you're going to lose weight...
