[quote=Anonymous]I swim only because I do triathlons and I hate training in the pool. I found the easiest thing to do is to sign up for Masters swimming. The area clubs run practices all over, so you get a coach, swim time, and workouts for a pretty reasonable fee. While many of the swimmers are really strong, there is always a slow lane for folks like me. With just twice weekly swims in the off season, I brought my 1500m time down from a 35 minute flail to a more respectable <25 min. The pool is great for cardio fitness, but I think results may vary for bodysculpting/weight loss. A lot of people find that swimming makes you a lot hungrier than other sports and you end up compensating more than you want. Also, as you get better in the water, you become much more efficient and burn comparatively fewer calories[/quote]
