I just started swimming last Friday after 22 years off. I have swam 4 times:applaud:and am pretty happy with myself. I obviously have a long way to go.
How many times a week do you need to swim to improve indurance, skill and lose inches and weight.
My goal is 4 times a week

I imagine there are many more factors that influence how often a masters swimmer will get in the pool than an age grouper. I try swimming every other day, though I adjust that based on what my body is telling me, family and work obligations and other personal activities (cycling, working on cars, etc). I would imagine that if you're coming back to swimming after a long layoff four days a week is plenty, especially if you have some other activity (running, cycling, walking the dog) some of your off days.
Above all, listen to what your body is telling you and don't overdo it.
