I tried to swim 1 hour a day over the summer. I probably ended up swimming about 3 times a week. It helped me get in shape and was a wonderful, relaxing way to do it. I swim at a leisurely pace, and try not to touch the sides or bottom of the pool. Sometimes , I was lucky enough to swim in the lake. I miss it already, now that winter is almost here. It's wonderful exercise. Yes, you'll lose weight.

I swim 5 days a week (Monday-Friday), I am now doing 80 - 100 laps (25m/lap), this takes me around 2hours. I swim using swim gloves which increases the load therefore developing my arm muscles. A great motivation is when I started using my 'misfit shine speedo' to track my process.

I want to start swimming. I have been running and my shins are telling me to switch it up. I have heard the swimming is a great full-body workout that is low-impact on the joints. Really excited to start in Dec.

I grew up swimming and playing water polo! I'd love to make new swimming friends! Feel free to friend me!

And yes you can totally lose weight swimming!

Our gym has an Olympic size pool.... it was all I had to do 1 lap. And I workout 5 days a week. It's full body for sure
