[quote=Anonymous]I got back to distance swimming last year after several years away from it. I was swimming about five times a week and worked up to doing a 2K and a one mile open water swim by late summer. I didn't lose any weight, but I did improve my cardiovascular fitness and overall muscle tone. I agree with a previous post that surmised running or cycling being a better calorie burn. I also suffer from insane hunger after swim workouts and probably put way too many calories back in the tank. The cold water effect on metabolism is also a valid discussion point. The Four Hour Body book and lifestyle keys in on this. I've seen no benefit for me, however.[/quote]
