I was just wondering. How many pounds have you lost swimming. I'm just wondering because i know there is a point where you just begin to get muscles.

I've lost about 20 since October.
However, swimming for weight loss isn't a great idea unless you're REALLY good at sticking to a calorie plan. (Or swim before meals. I come out of the pool wanting to Eat All the Things)
Have I put on muscle? Probably, though I haven't been tracking body fat percentage. I HAVE, however, noticed that I have no trouble at all lifting a five gallon jug of water to replace in the water cooler. I couldn't throw 40 lbs of water around like it was nothing before I got back in the pool!0 -

I've lost nearly 2 kgs since the start of the year. I think that's about 4.4 lbs. I have been keeping an eye on my calories, though. I have read online that an hour of swimming or aqua jogging can burn at least 500 calories. I usually make between 45 minutes to an hour each session.0 -
Also I find that if I eat a meal 2 to 3 hours before I go swimming that I don't get the usual munchies after training.0

Lost 15 kilos swimming and calorie counting.
But as they say, watching what you eat is 70-80% and exercise 20-30%.0 -
I eat a couple hours before swimming and I swim at least for an hour a day. I want to get it up though. I used to be on a competitive swim team so i think that helps me to keep swimming and not worr about the time.0
