I'm a rookie in the pool, and am surprised that keeping one's weight down appears to be less important than I thought. After decades of running with the knowledge that every pound over my running weight added 20 secs to my p/m pace, am I ok being a little chunky? I do aspire to be competitive in my age class. Thanks, Steve
I have been humbled on more than one occasion by people that did not fit the "swimmers physique." I have since stopped looking at anyone in the lanes next to me and tried to concentrate on my own race.
