Hi,
I was once a swimmer before my depression hit and was placed in a place I could not swim. I was under a lot of medication and got fat from the result. Now I am off all and I feel great and I have a huge desire to lose the weight and get fit again.
Okay, so I am looking for swimming advice. I am six foot two and weigh 260. I am a large build. Please, someone give me advice, I am ready once again.
It is a wonderful feeling : )

Start out ez. 50's on a minute or so to start...just keep going
and keep your heart rate in an aerobic range---like 120 - 140
beats per minutes...add or subtract to your interval so you can go
20 minutes, then 30 min, then 40 etc without stopping while keeping your heart beat within that range.... watch your calories as
you eat...if you burn more calories swimming than you eat [say 900calories per hour swimming}, you
will loose weight.
