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?
None of the above.
Swimming makes me gain weight. I'm a tank compared to when I was a runner. I have a fairly stellar diet and don't eat too little or too much. Running would likely take off 5-10 pounds, but it kills my swimming, so I'm eliminated it.
I checked maintain, buy I think I agree with Leslie.
I haven't done swimming only for 4 years or so, but when I did, I noticed my weight varied more than it does now. I'd swim M-F, and every Monday gain 5# from a weekend of nothing. With my current long run on Sundays, my weight is more consistent; but I've also thrown in some weights 3x a week, and shorter running on Tues and Thurs.
