If you can swim for an hour daily with roughly half of that in the En2 training zone, I believe that you will lose weight. The problem is that this requires both technique and endurance that the typical fitness swimmer lacks. After joining USMS in 2003 I lost 20 pounds with no cross training other than 20 minutes of weight lifting 2 or 3 days weekly. Of course. I think the issue is twofold really. Firstly, I think some people just don't put the effort that they think they are putting into their swimming. This happens alot with beginners, who assume they are burning way more calories than they really are. Secondly, exercise works up an appetite. I know I am really hungry after I leave the pool. Some folks just don't adjust their calorie intake and end up overeating. Other than that, swimming is a great way to lose weight if you mind your food intake.
