I want to start swimming and was just wondering if this is good for weight loss. I do not bore of swimming like the gym and I have the stamina to swim for ages. I read somewhere that high intensity is the only exercise for weight loss x x

    YUp - it's good for you.

    Just like running, You can burn off fat by swimming long distances or by going fast over short distances - or shake it up and do both. And do your heart a lot of good too...

    Exercises every muscle so they say.

    There is a swimmers group on Mfp - join us!
