I have seen many of the posts made here from master swimmers from all over the USA, Canada and the World.
It has me wondering about the state of master swimming.
1. Which State has the most swim meets.
2. Which State has the most master swimmers registered.
3. How many master swimmers registered are in the USA
Peter -- I'm afraid you'll just have to concede that running is far better for weight loss/weight control!
I can't comment on running since my knees won't let me. But I have mixed cycling, running and weights in various amounts, from largely cycling-dominated (with many long aerobic efforts) about 10 years ago to almost entirely swimming + weights at present.
And my own experience is that, as long as I am exercising daily with intensity for a pretty reasonable duration, my weight control efforts are determined almost entirely by the nature and amount of my food intake and not by the specific mix of exercising I was using.
And apparently the "nature" of the food isn't all that important.
YMMV of course, just adding one datum to the mix.
