hey there! I used to compete when I was younger but I have gained weight since then and would love to use swimming to slim down. Swimming is my cardio of choice. My goal is to participate in a Swim a Thon in April 2005. I haven't been on a team or trained lately (since I was 11)....so I am not familiar on how to do intervals with the clock and all that stuff. Anyway...can you guys help me out? Thanks.

Maybe we're on to something. Perhaps swimming somehow violates the law of conservation of energy--calories are expended for a net loss but body weight remains unchanged. Or maybe those swimmers who don't lose weight are still consuming more calories than they burn in the pool.
