I am a former football player, power lifter, who has put on 150+ lbs since I graduated High School 10 years ago.
I had just joined 24 hour fitness to undo my 10 year repeat of the freshman 15. I did so because they have a pool and I'm hoping that can turn swimming into a hobby that will help me do so. Now, I've been doing some reading on the internet and from what I've been reading, it appears as if some put on body fat??????????
I need your thoughts por favor.

I've actually gained weight since a took up swimming again 9 months ago (from 175 to 185) b/c it has increased my appetite and I converted alot of muscle to fat. So don't look at the pounds, you'll be doing your heart wonders.
Get a waterproof mp3 player so you have something to distract your mind.
Join a masters swim club, go 3+ times per week
Change your eating habits
Put your head down and don't look up for a few months.
Do NOT weigh your self every day or even every week.
