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 am more than chunky and I am pretty competitive in my age class. I am sure that some people are baffled that I can do in the pool with my non-swimming looking body. But, there are other big guys in Masters swimming who are pretty competitive and ranked pretty high in their age groups.
