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!

He was specifically discussing teenaged girls. Basically the interviewer (Brooks) was having him discuss the development of age group swimmers, and what he emphasizes at different ages. Brooks mentioned Paul Bergen after Bowman said something about dealing with the negative effects of puberty on girls' body shape for swimming.
Fishgrrl: yes, you were able to lose weight, but for a while there you would probably agree with Bowman. Even though you were swimming a lot, you weren't able to lose much weight.
