I was wondering how many master's swimmers think that swimming:
maintains weight
aids weight loss somewhat
aids weight loss greatly
For me, I maintain weight, and unless I kick my yardage WAY up, I don't lose weight.
How about you?

That would be a fun comparison: runners vs. swimmers To me it's totally apples vs. oranges.
I didn't think to put that swimming makes people gain weight. I should have put that. Besides you, I don't know of anybody that it makes gain weight.
Now you do. :)
I usually put on a few pounds when I get back to swimming. Then it starts to come off. I think it is building muscle then as my endurance returns, I can burn more calories.
