How many laps did you do?

[@florentinalestaru7273]

it is important to be able to maintain that after the weight loss too. so if after trying stuff like low carb you think yeah i could go my entire life without carbs.. then have at it. but if not, look for smth more appropriate for you. there are good healthy options out there. like learning how to integrate healthy complex carbs in your diet, how to adjust the proportions of vegetables, protein, carbs and fat every meal. Some nutritionist recommend half of your plate to be vegetables and the other half split between protein and complex carbs and fat.

[@lauloendersloot779]

That's great, and how long did it take, and did you swim every day ?

[@MikeKay1978]

I dislocated my shoulder, doctor said it would take a month to get it back working and they wanted me to wear a harness. But being a dad i took my daughter to the kids pool 32 degrees C. I started to move my arm and shoulder, you could feel how the muscle resisted. After three sessions, i.e a week my shoulder was working again. The weightlessness the light resistance and the warm water made a miracle.

[@ygoeb13]

The one thing to keep in mind is that while swimming is great for just about every aspect of fitness, because it is not weightbearing it is NOT a great exercise for preserving bone density as we age. It is important to include weightbearing exercise in any routine for those people older than 50-60, as osteoporosis becomes a concern

I think swimming is much funnier and better than running, because for weight loss is best to have FUN while doing it. I personally failed running many times because of head pain, hard breathing, to hot, to cold, but this I can do for 2 hours. But now after months of swimming I can even run better :)

[@33Jenesis]

I swim almost daily for a year and lost 25lb, down to size 4. I was new to swimming therefore it wasn’t enjoyable for a long time. But it challenged me to figure out how to get better. My neighbor lost 50+ pounds and several dress sizes with her daily pool workout. She now has a firm and trim swimmer’s body; fantastic for a 60 year old.

[@marcelgreen4789]

I'm glad to see this post as well I've injured my knee like a year ago and had surgery I'm definitely getting back to swimming than trying to run it's been difficult for me to run dealing with this scar tissue I have to get this stiffness out my knee joints so my knee can be more flexible

[@ForlornFreddy]

Similar; 45 y/o with plantar fasciitis so I switched back to swimming. I'm approx. two months in and all my shorts are looser and I'm down 10lbs. or so. Good luck, hope it's going well for you!

[@PowellStephen]

I'm a 71-year-old male and got back in the pool in May weighing 94.7kg. I started easy at 2-300 mt 3 times a week. By the end of May, I was up to 2000mt 3 times a week. It's mid-October, and I have lost 9kg (20lb). My diet has not changed until the last week or two as my ambitions for weight loss and swim speed have increased. My early 2000mt swims took 78 min. I'm now down to 1 hr and incorporating bursts of up to 100 mt sprints. I'm very happy with my results. I'm 5kg off my weight goal and my ambitions are now to compete at masters competitions. I highly recommend swim watch trackers as they show your swimming progress, and the hatred of gaps in my swim program ensures I keep turning up!

[@PowellStephen]

Update on my progress. I have now dropped 12kg. I found that because I'm getting fitter so I was not working as hard and the weight loss slowed. I've added more distance and some sprints to make the sessions a bit of a workout. Swimming 8.5 k per week.

[@franpicado1729]

Hi! Which watch do you recommend? My galaxy watch 5 died after 10 sessions ...I'm looking for another option ( not apple) Thanks

[@rashmika9742]

Thank you for not forgetting about your metric friends! I do have some weight to lose, but I got back into swimming because it helps my mental clarity, and it's an escape. It's a way to keep cool in the warm southern hemisphere, and furthermore, I just love the process of it.

As someone that's looking into starting a weight loss journey and having heard of how great swimming is for fitness, this video has been insanely inspiring and absolutely to the point and honest. Thank you!

[@Muawiyah7866]

How are you going? Any luck losing?

[@Hippabellita1]

I did exactly that! Started to swim to become more fit again at the end of the corona lockdown; chose swimming, because it was what I thought the easiest sport on my bones and body and because I had a beautiful public pool nearby. Did not think about weight loss in the beginning, but started to consider that about 3-4 months later and did it exactly like you explain: Calculated my targeted calorie expenditure and intake to create a deficit that would allow me to loose about 900 g per week (my target was a specific weight to be reached at the beginning of the next outdoor pool season); I planned the calorie deficit half by cutting down the calories and half by increasing the calorie expenditure with swimming. Additionally, I tracked the swimming distance and started mapping the chilometers that I swam in the pool to distances in the Rhine river starting at the place where I grew up in Duisburg on the rhine in Germany and "virtually" swimming to the place I live today in Switzerland. Everyweek I would describe the highlights along the rhine of the stretch I had covered, which was often related to childhood memories etc. I swam about 8-10 km per week. I lost 30 kg in about 9 months. I took swimming lessons to learn how to do proper breast stroke swimming and freestyle lessons, but needed to pause them because I need to strengthen my core muscles first, which I do in the gym right now .... still swimming and addressing the next 10 kg. Have developed deep friendships with two of the life guards at the pool and changed my life from couch potatoe to being and looking sportive. And swimming is my best mental medicine; I can FEEL the endorphines every time, and I have used the swimming time for self reflection, problem solving and decision making and also dreaming ;-))) I LOVE swimming and love your channel. Will have a look at your app right now. THANKS and I can recommend your video, your message and your recommendations 100%.

What I like a lot is that with swimming you don't sag if you have a lot of excess weight. The skin tightens as you lose weight which is awesome. For me I love swimming (hate gym as well) + have some arthritis so all matches :D

[@mirioyt654]

So swimming won't make ur skin tight even if you lost fat?

[@besahalala]

@@mirioyt654no they said the opposite of that, it does tighten the skin which is great

[@mg4361]

I actually didn't start swimming to lose weight but just because i enjoy it and wanted to improve. I still have trouble keeping my weight from going down. Swimming is an incredible calorie burner. I now combine eating a lot of protein with weight exercises to keep my muscles from getting burned along.

[@heshamaldhahiry95]

Eating an excess of protein will increase your insulin response resulting in insulin resistance which slows your metabolism. I would start intermittent fasting and watch what foods you're eating. Anybody can find a way to lose weight, some people say "i don't know, that's just how my body is" but that's not true at all. Anybody can lose weight if they find what works for their body.

[@jeremyredandblueify]

Great 👍🏿 video I swim 3-4 times a week with light weight training I eat a lot of veggies 🥗 and protein I lose weight slowly and I feel great 😊

[@robohippy]

Me, I am 72, and got back into swimming to prepare for bilateral hip replacement and one knee also. Current weight is about 240. Goal weight is about 190. Like said here in this video, it is zero impact. I try to get to the pool 5 days a week. For me to lose weight, I need to swim 3500 to 4000 yards, along with my 1500 or so yards of kicking. My kick needs a LOT of work. Today was my distance day, 3 miles, 5300 yards, 106 laps in a 25 yard pool. Average pulse rate was 115 BPM. High pulse was 134. Total calories burned was just over 2000. Time was 2:11. Goal for my distance swim is to get time under 2 hours, and be able to do it without paddles or fins. Today, 3100 yards with no hand paddles. I am doing 2 heavy days, with more sprints and and less distance, then 2 easy day with more relaxed pace. and the Friday distance day. I swim freestyle, back stroke, and the over arm side stroke. Never could swim breast stroke. My feet will not turn out. I do have to take in a lot of electrolytes as I swim. Today was about 7 or 8 16 oz. bottles. I use the carbonated tabs and also add carb replacement powder from Precision Hydration and Fueling. Only connection to them is that it is the only product I have found that lets me swim long and hard and I don't get cramps at night.

[@robohippy]

Had to look it up. 3500 calories will equal about a pound. This would translate to some thing like if you burn an extra 500 calories a day for a week, without increasing your intake, then you can lose about a pound a week. If you can reduce calorie intake by about 500 a day, and add 500 calories per day of burn, then you can be in that 2 pounds a week range. I do agree that losing more than that is not healthy. Water weight, is not to be confused with body weight loss. This is highly variable from person to person. I can sweat off 5 pounds in a workout without much effort, which is why I have to take in so many electrolytes.. Since I sweat so heavily, I have to pay close attention to my water weight. During construction years, 10 pounds over the course of a summer day was common.

[@BjerkeRobin]

That's awesome 💪💪

[@tiffanyanderson9437]

Back in my day, when I didn't need to lose weight, swimming would make me voraciously hungry. When I stopped swimming competitively, I went to Weight Watchers to lose weight. I didn't think it was possible to lose weight with swimming. I will definitely check out your nutritionist.

[@KNDCHV]

I am not fat or out of shape, but I am skinny fat. I look decent on my upper body, but my belly fat and even waist fat is poking its ugly nose and I wanna lose it. What I tell myself to not give up and cope with it while keep hitting the pool is: "The fat didn't get there over a night - so I won't lose it over night". As long as you stay consistent the change will come, sooner or later. Just don't give up. I am not.

[@rosestewart1606]

I have danced and done many sports, but was a guard for many years starting in my teens. I have always been swimming when I could find the time but just came back to swimming really 3 months ago because I'm at the end of recovery from a knee injury. I had 40 pounds to lose and I've already lost half of that. I swim daily and the goal is to swim 1000 times in 1000 days. it's the foundation of my fitness plan now, after so many false starts and re-injures trying to do other things. I've just added back weights and dance training this week, and need lots of stretching. one thing that helped a lot was increasing my protein intake. after discussing diet with my doctor, I realized I had never eaten enough protein. my muscles got stronger faster and I'm always full after a meal. I do eat carbs but it's the smallest thing on my plate now.

[@coltthestarsheriff3544]

I have a swimmer's body more or less my entire life, and some people still think i am unhealthy skinny and small.

[@deanc2000]

Keep in mind muscle weighs more than fat. So judge how your clothes fit better, and how you look in the mirror before what is on the scale.

[@shaneshaska8075]

That’s actually a very common misconception. 5 lbs of muscle is the same as 5lbs of fat. Fat just holds more space bc muscle is leaner. Think about it like this, a 12 oz ribeye vs a 12oz filet, they weigh the same, however the ribeye is bigger in size bc it’s a fattier meat. One doesn’t weigh more than the other by any means. Feel free to fact check cause it’s actually super interesting 👍🏼

[@billybob6604]

No it doesn’t. 5 lbs = 5lbs it’s just the distributions that are different

[@nightrider6136]

Even if swimming doesn't help you lose weight, it tones up your body - movements, mood, self-esteem, body shape - everything improves

[@cr4957]

I swim to stay fit and I've worked so hard to swim a decent butterfly, but my problem is that swimming makes me really hungry! I've only been losing weight since I started alternating running and swimming. I've also noticed that while my shoulders are really toned, my arms have gotten thinner and I'm doing some dry land workout to gain some biceps and triceps back. Is it a common problem?

[@gert_kruger]

What you did not mention is for someone who is a bit overweight during exercise overheating may be an issue. For swimming that is less of an issue since the water cools you down.

[@twiggyfitness6642]

I love swimming. I fuel myself with beef, egg, bacon, cheese, and romaine lettuce. I intake 3000 calories a day: 63% fat 34% protein 3% carbs I feel great. I mix echo cycling and weight training.

[@BrisLS1]

For me, the key to losing fat swimming is in the kicking. I can literally fall asleep swimming free style without kicking. But if I grab a board and just kick, my heart rate goes way up, my breathing gets strained and my core tightens up for days after it. Lastly, the "accessible" feature of the sport has disappeared for me lately. Unless I want to wait for late at night. Crowding has become a thing near me, I think because of an aging and enriched population. More people have the time and money for the health club, and they want the low impact water. Need more pools.

[@daviddaniels9217]

Well done and congratulations Mike Allon......... respect to you Sir.

I’ve always loved swimming for exercise and weight loss but the pool isn’t terribly close to me. 25 miles away and not the best hours. However,I’m currently laid up with a tibial plateau fracture and MCL/ACL/PCL damage. I’m counting the days until I can get to that pool to condition and lose weight as it will be the best exercise that I can do to rehab without putting lots of stress on my knee.

As far as I know safe deficit should not exceed 20% of general demand, but it should be rather lower, like 15%. 500 kcal for a person needing 2300 is more than 20%, while it is a different figure for someone who needs 3000 kcal. Keeping a high deficit for a long time, or just keeping a deficit that is too high may result in various problems, including hormonal issues and other related to body being overstressed. I think it is better to be on the safe side and just take into account longer time needed for weight loss. But I agree that swimming is one of the best exercises ever.

[@hillsideharvesthomestead7485]

My watch says I’m only burning about 300-350 cal per hour. I’m out of shape and overweight. Haven’t lost a lb in the last 4 month. Now I can see that I’ve lost a little weight but gained plenty of muscle, so I’m a little ok with that. I’m not eating a whole lot - some days I do indulge though. I swim 5 days a week. I do push myself in the water too. My watch says I’m doing aerobic workouts but not a lot of anaerobic workouts. Still love swimming but it is getting frustrating.

Sounds about right yeah, lost 2 kg a week swimming 30 min each day for week, watch says 500 per session burnt. It really depends where you start though, I could lose 5-7 more to be really in shape, and the first ones are the easiest to get rid of.

So BMR for me is 2087- Calories+750 burned= 2837 Calories. On a 2,000 Calorie average diet I am at an 837 calorie deficit. So if I have the math correct. 837* 7= 5,859 Calories. 3,500 calories in a pound of body fat so 5,858\3500= 1.674 pounds of body fat. Can someone tell me if my math is correct?

[@SD-tv5rn]

I am 62 and got a man he is down to 128kg from 135 and I go a little different route with him, only Zone 2 swimming (fat burn zone) 3 times a week 60min except when occasionally to full exhausted but HR MAX 130. I am 65kg and struggling to hold that zone (3-4 is normal to me). If I can hold Zone 2 for an hour about 3km then I am not hungry after on but in Zone 3+ (carb zone) I am constantly hungry and at times really lo on blood sugar in the shower room and need carbs while dressing. So swimming for weight loss is a little art form.. my guy did only minor changes to his food plan. He gets my old Garmin swim 2 watch set on cardio to watch his HR. When I swim + Apnea Monofin workouts I use 2 watches (one for the workout and the old Garmin for HR only) +Polar verity sense under my swimming cap (download mode only). For me training without HR monitor is like driving with no gauges.. happy journey

[@joep3279]

Idk about "accessible." My community rec center costs $7 per day. At 3 times per week, that's more than a typical gym membership. But aside from that, yeah it's great, I love it. I only started about a month ago, and as an adult with very minimal swimming skills, it can be demoralizing to go to a public pool the first few times. You'll be slow, you'll barely make it one pool length before needing a breather, and there will be two 12 year old girls next to you (one splitting the lane with you, and the other in the lane over) getting screamed at by their coach for not swimming fast enough even though they are going 5 times faster and 5 times longer than you are (not that that happens to me every Monday and Wednesday, just hypothetically of course). But progress, slowly but surely, eventually comes.

I swim regularly and aware of all the benefits I get from it. but.. swimming makes you hungry. very hungry. losing weight just with swimming and diet seems unsustainable to me, as feeling hungry all the time can't be that much fun. when I needed to lose weight, I worked out a plan with a nutritionist and started visiting the pool more regularly. but I also started hitting the gym 3 times a week, and I'm pretty sure that made more of a difference.

I put in 40 to 60 minutes of kicking per work out. My kick is pretty weak. With a 40 minute kick session, 150 calories, and average pulse at 100, and high pulse at 116. I have gone higher. Mostly it depends on how hard you are pushing it.

Obviously i could go to swim more often and swim longer, but i am surprised that this is already not enough, as 0.5kg loss last 2 months is almost nothing, i could gain it in 1 day :)

Maybe you gained muscles?

[@nbiresev]

@@gracie5870 I haven't gained muscles. I lost 6 months after 7 kg. I was increasing duration of swimming training, was eventually swimming 2.5km - 3km per training, 4x a week which made me burn more caliries and lead to weight loss. Besides i started going regularly for at least 30 min walk per day. Working at home on computer if i don't do any sports i spend very low amount of calories.

How many times for that

[@txxrxxx1221]

The fastest swimmers in my club are hanging over the belt. I look like a triathlete but all the fat people smoke me.

[@toadintheh0le]

Cos they float better

Lose that horrible background music, and it would be a much better video. Terribly hard to concentrate combined with rapid commentary.

…how do you not get water in your nose..??

[@giatasha2181]

I wear nose plugs but most have good technique of only breathing out of the nose never in

[@SenorJuan2023]

Personally, I've found walking to be much better for weight loss.

Cool ice baths is the best and fastest as long as not to cold and you stay a hour

Nah swim caps look nerdy, I'll risk damaging my hair. PS does anyone know if there are benefits swimming laps with weights? I'm searching everywhere for answers, but can't find the answer, please let me know, thank you

[@abcsin6526]

Not only that, you loose body hair too!

[@breizizel3256]

The problèm is the EAT !!! Otherwise ut is useless !😢

[@alpiston]

Btw calorie counting is sooo old fashioned and proved to be ineffective, stop even mentioning it pls - be professional

[@robohippy]

Please explain. Expanding a bit on this, I follow a couple of triathlon channels, and they all take calorie burn into account. So, please explain. If you are not fueled properly, and taking in enough electrolytes, both before, during and after your work outs, you will 'bonk' or hit the wall....

[@oliverford5367]

Why? Your body is counting calories, it's weight is energy in-energy out. Throwing the speedometer out your car doesn't change how fast it's going!

[@colibriargente9179]

It's an indication of how much you eat. Not perfection accurate by the unit, but help you get a visual of how much you eat.

[@fistikcisahap7268]

it is the only thing works.

[@ToCarlosHuevos]

Since some weeks ago, I've been considering to go swimming once or twice a week to complement my other exercise (which is boxing). I thought about all the advantages that this video mentions, but I have a doubt: is swimming considered as a "strength" exercise? (Idk if that is how you say it in English). What I mean is that I do a lot of cardio exercise in boxing, but I would like to get more strength in my muscles and going to the gym to weight lifts isn't very appealing to me. Is swimming a good substitute for that, as you move the weight of the water with your muscles? Or is it just cardio and not comparable with weightlifting/calisthenics?

[@kjames5073]

Swimming is the best if you have access to pool. It’s better than running or walking.

[@abcsin6526]

I m learning swimming for past 1month and all my fat are lost from my body except my belly fat.. my q is does it really matter,where I m learning swimming from..I m learning it in water canal and not proper swimming pool??

[@myswimpro]
