This was my main source for weightloss until I moved now I dont have a pool, but it helped me loose fast. Almost two pounds every workout and i never felt pain the next day. Its just important to ensure your eatting properly at a deficit or else your body will contour but your weight will take longer to come off

I'm still too heavy to run, and the elliptical kicks my *kitten*. I lift weights and do pilates and yoga and wanted to do more cardio, so I've started adding swimming into my fitness routine. I didn't like swimming at school and was never particularly a strong swimmer, but installed the Speedo Fit app with distance goals, and now do 500m at least 3 times a week, and hoping to improve that

What kind of swimming are you doing? Laps or water walking type exercise?

In January and February I tried to swim at least 3 to 4 times per week at 650m per session and I loved it, low impact and you can sweat gracefully in the water:) I went back to walking outside and recently biking my neighborhood. When it gets too hot I will probably go back to the pool at the YMCA, or actually I think you just inspired me to go back now! You can friend me if you like:) -Nancy

There is a swimmers group on MFP. Just search it. Good bunch of people, swimming to keep fit!

I swim once a week. I used to do the american stroke for 30 minutes but that kind of got boring even though I got into a nice rhythmic groove. I now warm up casually for five minutes and then I swim as fast as I can for one length and then wade back one length and repeat 12 times. I do it for aerobics (if that term is still used) as opposed to weight loss.

I can't find the group

I love this app though. I am meeting some many new people. I need to meet new fitness minded friends

Photonurse- I am doing laps. Started about 2 weeks ago, so I'm still getting my routine down. I do laps for a while, and then do some aerobic exercises while in the water, and then go back to the laps. I repeat that for 1 hour.

I am also swimming to help me with weight loss. I am swimming lengths of 25m ,usually 6 then walking for 2 lengths. I repeat this for 45 mins 2 or 3 times a week. Feel free to add me.

the Swimmers Group is very active. You can't search for it, just have to scroll through the groups until you find it.

How do I scroll through the groups?

unknown

Look at top of this page, click on groups, then click on browse groups. You can then scroll through all 5000+ groups. Look on page 6 for the Swimmers Group
