Swimming for weight loss?

MK123C

Hi all!

i was just wondering how good swimming is for weight loss? i've heard its great for toning too, but the only thing that concerns me is getting broad shoulders.. if i were to swim 3 times a week and workout in the gym 3 times a week (alternating) would my shoulders become broad and masculine?

thank you for your help!

I just recently got back into swimming after a long break. I used to swim competitively in my teens and never developed broad masculine shoulders. I think swimming is great and that you would have to train like crazy to start to build huge shoulders, so i wouldn't worry about it.
