I have decided to start going swimming 3 times a week to try and tone up. I am currently a size 12/14, but would like to get down to a 10/12. I need to curb my bad eating habits as well though – I’m a sucker for fast food. Will I lose weight from swimming? or just tone up overall? I am interested to hear what results anyone has had from swimming, and how long did it take you to start seeing results?
I started swimming for three weeks and I lost 9 lbs and my bench press went from 165 to 195. and you could see my muscles in more detail after those 3 weeks.
To honor our newly released DVD, Go Swim Backstroke with Margaret Hoelzer, we’re going to focus on the underwater dolphin in backstroke. This is a quick look at something Margaret discusses on her DVD… what size should your dolphin kick be?

I just started swimming for the first time in my life in November 08′.I can swim a 25 butterfly in 10.3 seconds, a 50 fly in 25 seconds, I swim a 50 freestyle in 26 seconds and a 100 free in less than a minute. however, I can’t swim either for distances…. do you know of any excercises to strengthen myself so that I will be able to do distances? In pool workouts?
Nice times! Especially the 50 fly. Here are the swim workouts I use offseason, girls season just ended so I will be starting these back up again. they really help with distance endurance but there are some sprints as well.
The backstroke is a great swim stoke that is best learned gradually. Get expert tips and advice in this swimming video.

Since my childhood I never got the chance to learn to swim and now am 25. Is there still the possibility to learn swimming. In life most things I learned late and the hard way, not early enough as the rest. So is there still a possibility or should I blame myself for being this late?
It’s never to late to swim! We over at SwimForums have members that are 30 and older! Here’s an example: http://www.swimforums.net/thread-73.html If you are interested, I suggest you join http://www.SwimForums.net – introduce yourself and ask as many questions as you like, the community would be glad to help you out!
