Ive been swimming now for 8 weeks. Ive lost 16kg (from 140 to 124). I barley made 300m in an hour on the 1st day. Today I swam 2km inside n hour and knocked out 3km total. The body adapts so fast.
May I ask what is your diet like
@@nicolechoong2308 My diet is a very slowly improving thing, now down 22kg. use an app record everything I eat review after a week, and decide to remove or reduce one thing at a time. I'm not meal prepping although I gave it a go one week, with limited success. but it's certainly not great, it's just like the swimming and now some gym work, it's all just one step at a time in the right direction. I made 0% good choices before I'm probably making 50% good choices now.
Thank you
My goal , I stated swimming two months ago , will check my weight after 3months
@@nicolechoong2308 Eat fresh, skip the food and drinks with additives. I've lost 20kg without even exercising. Processed food is designed to make you eat more.
Its not just weight loss for your body, its weight loss for your mind. The solitude of the pool gives you 1hr a day of zero external stress if you can manage to work out hard enough to where you cant think of anything but the swim. I cannot stress how amazing and important this is for your brain and overall health.

Exactly man
Is this like a natural meditation?
👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻
Agreed
I feel bad for every swimmer that is experiencing a closed pool. Hopefully things will get better and all swimmers can quickly get back into training in the pool.
I was unable to swim for 5 months and it sucked
Fortunately I’m in LA and I can swim in outdoor pool. I swim in Westlake athletic club. Hope everyone one can swim soon
I switch to an outdoors pool. It’s cold but I need it
@@ThatAs1anMan go outdoor pool
My pool time was completely cut for 10 months and now i pay 10x what i used to just to get exercise but I can only afford it once a week...
i used to be a swimmer, i swom for 5 years but recently took a break and haven't swimmed in a while... i want to get back on track because dwimming is such a great sport to lose weight. It works for me.
Does swimming make your thighs bigger or slimmer cause I’ve heard a lot of people saying it makes your thighs bigger but idk
I believe if you swim regularly you will slim down your thighs since you burn most fat in thighs/legs while swimming but you will still get muscles but this wont make your thighs bigger
@@maryhehe408 I think it depends on the stroke you do. I was a breast stroker and my legs were always a bit more muscular- since the stroke is mainly legs.
Doesn’t work at all for me
@Mary Hehe I’m not really sure tbh. I think it kinda of slims down it, or keeps it in shape and gain a bit more muscle depending on how much you do. I’ve been swimming competitively ever since I was like 6/7 (I started learning at 3 in classes), and they have gotten a bit bigger because I was growing, but I had a lot of muscle in my legs. I haven’t been to the pool in 2 years because of covid and my parents won’t let me, and my thighs are 2x bigger.
The best way to loose weight is to get your heart broken
Amen to that
Every cloud 💔
Facts
😂 no fr I lost 90ibs
Or being in a relationship
swimming on intermittent fasting periods really seems to skyrocket intensity, speed and endurance. in my experience, adding a bit of keto salts from the local health store helps with hydration, electrolytes and extending the intermittent fast periods. an ideal fat burning period from what I have learned is to get into that swim around the 14-16 hour mark and push the lengths. very powerful, fat burning, health renovating process for the body as it revs into autophogy. I can clear 1-2+ km with ease in hh but on fasting the rate is accelerated.
I started swimming without floats at 2 years old. I love swimming but I just recently have been blessed with access to a pool again. I’m enjoying the exercise and the nostalgia
Been swimming around 6 hours a week for 2 months and the weight is coming off. Been trying to get back to normal weight for EIGHTEEN YEARS and finally see light at the end of the tunnel. Just doing breast and backstroke now, but about to incorporate some front crawl. Once I feel comfortable with front crawl, I want to learn the flip turn and the back stroke flip turn. Also doing a bit of walking.
A training that I applied in my house away from the water was to reach a little beyond my reach by left foot toe extended and right hand fingers extended aided by my shoulder moved forward to my ear repeat with the other side. Being 5.4 feet I had to put in an extra 5 strokes to keep up with 6 footers. So I used this training to decrease the number of strokes and an added bonus was I was more streamlined and thus faster.
Everybody talks about loosing weight during swimming, nothing wrong with it of course. But I want to say one thing why I chose swimming only as a cardio exercise: primary reason is happiness. The joy that I feel while I’m in the water is incomparable to any exercise. If my schedule allow, I’d be in a pool half of the day everyday. Since I remember myself, pools are my heaven. So my primal reason for swimming is happiness that gives me. Along the way, I loose the weight, tone my body, strength my muscles.
My doctor told me to start swimming for my scoliosis and to build muscle. I am starting next month (I have to go to some other doctors to get permission) and I am so excited for it. I am doing my research and your video helped a lot.
I was a regular swimmer about 4 times a week for about 2 hrs session. But from last June I m suffering some health issues which leaves me feeling very tired and lethargic, so I haven’t been to pool since. I m not a good swimmer as I m still learning but want to back after I see my consultant in hospital. I love swimming and I miss all the people there, so wish me luck. Love you and your videos perfect for me. Thank you so much.x
Mother nature has all the cures
Reduce time min45to 1hr every day do after warm up ... Slow and study start slow but regularly
So helpful, thank you! I just found out I have PCOS so I have to be even more careful with weightgain, but I think swimming is great because I actually enjoy it!
What is PCOS?
@@noracoronahernandez8495 Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a hormonal disorder common among women of reproductive age. Women with PCOS may have infrequent or prolonged menstrual periods or excess male hormone (androgen) levels. The ovaries may develop numerous small collections of fluid (follicles) and fail to regularly release eggs.
I lost 100 lb swimming in 2022 now I’m going for another 100 lbs this year
May I ask what your initial weight was? Im considering swimming for my weight loss journey
@@TheSmartSneakerhead how is it going
For my case, around 1~1h30m workouts, swimming burns 400~700Kcal, running burns 700~900Kcal, bike riding burns 1300~1800Kcal. Bike riding burns calories a lot but swim and running burns different part of my body fat. So, when it feels like stop loosing weight, it'd better do other exercise.
I have been swimming for a month now. Went from swimming 1000 meters (with small breaks) for 1.5 hours in day one to 2000 meters in 1 hour and 5 minutes.
I intended to loose weight, instead I have gained 3 pounds . However all the gain is on muscle mass, while loosing belly fat. Went from size 36 to 32. Now my problem is the sagging skin around my belly.
@ender Destroyer12 there are no tips, weight loss is accumulative - you cannot direct where the weight goes from the body. Hope that helps!
Skin brushing. I go to the beach daily and rub my skim with the sand for at least 5 - 10 minutes to stimulate the blood.
@@kheidy7 what
@@christianpinchbeck3518 You have to do skin brushing to mitigate loose skin as much as possible. And also make sure you stay hydrated. I live in the Caribbean, so I get to go to the beach everyday. I sit on the seashore and use the sand to rub my skin over and over as the seawater washes it away. Think of how people do facial scrubs. I do my legs and my arms especially to try to tone them. A holistic expert taught me that.
@@kheidy7 I suggest ditching the holistic expert 😂
Been toying with the idea of swimming for weight loss. Not a very good swimmer at the moment, but open to learning proper technique. I usually run and do HIIT routines, but really like the idea of swimming and chilling in the sauna or hot tub after before my day begins.
Great work, Love it.
Thanks for your work!
These are really informative videos! I love learning about swimming
I’m 61 and only just learning to swim so probably burn a lot less calories I’m only a few pounds overweight so I’m not actively dieting to lose weight my main goal is fitness and for that I eat more healthily if those few extra pounds disappear while I’m doing it then that’s a bonus.
Great job granny
I swam from about the age of 4 till about 14 Monday to Friday for an hour everyday and I used to be so fit and shredded like those magazine guys and then I stopped ever since and I’m now 17 and my stomach now has folds 💀…trying to get back into it hopefully I can get back into shape 🔥💪😂
😁
I don't follow a strict nutrition plan, but I lowered my consumption of unhealthy foods. This combined with swimming and regular walks made me loose a lot of kilograms.
🎉congrats!
Ive been swimming 2 days a week and lost 3-5kg now and my muscles grow back, firstly i thinking for calming my stress off and mental issues sooo swimming is bout enjoy now hihii
I hurt my leg weight lifting and am slowly gonna get back into shape.
Been out 4+ months
swimming for an hour with any pressure or interruption or noise from kids and other annoying people is heaven!!
Since I see everyone commenting about their swimming past, I want to do it too. :)
I did synchronized and competitive swimming from age 7 to 14 years old. Then I stopped because of body issues as a teen. I still swim on occasion like when boating with friends or at the recreation park nearby (I live in a very water-heavy part of my country), but that is it. Yesterday I visited friends who are at a vacation park and we went swimming in the outside pool. And it just felt right. I was even still able to do some exercises from synchronized swimming (though badly), but my condition is currently non-existent and I am about 20 kilos heavier than I was the same amount of years ago...
A quick Google search shows a pool nearby to which I can bike. Meaning I can bike there, swim and bike back home. Even if I bike there and change my mind (if it is too crowded for example) I will still have that 30 min of biking as daily exercise. So that seems like a good something to start with. :D
Now I first have to fix my bike, which I haven't used in months either.
Thank you for this. Looking forward to increase from 30 to 60 minutes swimming time.
I don’t believe the skip breakfast thing bc been intermittent fasting and swimming for awhile and I’m happy 😊
Nice one Heather 👍🏊🏻♂️
I turned 65 in January. Decided to take the plunge (no pun intended). Whenever I start something like this, I have to be accountable to someone, so I hired a coach 1x a week for a month. This got me going and now it's 6 days every week allowing myself (any) one day off of my choosing, each week. It is making a huge difference and I actually find I'm enjoying this much more than going to the gym which bores the crap out of me. After 25 years, the stomach is starting to actually recede and after each session, I feel remarkably good and better all of the time.
Great inspirational video.. cannot wait to get to the pool 😀❤🎉
I’m a runner and sweat is actually kind of a hindrance for me: I’ve been running 5K’s almost every day since last January, and my average pace during summer was noticeably 1.5 min slower per KM, jumped back up to 6 min / KM.
With swimming I don’t have to worry about the heat and sweat anymore. It’s awesome.
great video, my only negative takeaway is the advice on whether or not to eat breakfast. I swear there are hundreds of videos out there that all contradict the other, saying "Studies Show" etc etc etc. I would say the most important thing if weight loss is your goal, find a calorie calculator that allows you to input: Age, Height, Weight, exercise level and it will give you 3 numbers. How many calories you need to maintain your weight, Lose weight and lose weight fast. In my opinion as long as you follow your calorie intake diet then you can chose if you want to eat breakfast or not. The most important thing overall is STICK WITH IT, results wont come over night but they will come!
I swam 100 laps today I feel great
Nice I only swam 90 I was so close to 100
How on EARTH do you guys do that? I feel proud of myself today because I was able to get 10 laps done.
@@theodorekennedy148 take it at a time. 10 laps is very good! You have to work your way up just like running. Now try and do 12 laps, then 14, then 16, until you get the hang of it and you’re confident enough to do 100 laps
@@theodorekennedy148 I don't even know how to swim.
@@kyannajarvis I wanna say you are a good person you make me day good luck with your life
I been swimming since last summer and recently added jump squats and other water aerobics, now im losing my tummy more, but so far I'm doing great im finally under 200 and my goal is 150 lb , but I will continue to swim after reaching my goal, I mostly swim back stroke my favorite type of swim
Update?

Update???
Excellent Videography
Eat light or with soup. Breakfast coffee,Lunch minced meat noddle soup and dinner seafood noodle misua. I usually swim 1 hour after dinner. Avoid carbohydrates to not feel sleepy after eating. 500 breaststroke,1.5km freestyle intermittent hypoxic breathing(6stroke/breath and 2 normal breathing)
Coffee? No
At 50 have or had an extreme fear of water. Just had my 1st lesson.. went in shoulders, to neck, to chin..to blowing bubbles out my mouth.. gliding....making progress. I'm plus and desperately need to trim down. I have pain in all my joints, so swimming would be best for me. Definitely looking to becoming an advid swimmer 🏊♀️. Looking forward to doing lapse, burning this fat enjoying the peace of being in the water....
Best wishes to you. It’s normal to feel afraid but at some point your enjoyment will out weigh your fear.
I swim 30 min a day and try to cover as much distance as possible- this was to change up from the 1 hour or 1 mile swim
No matter what I do or when I swim I am starving after- so I simply eat back the calories I burned x 2
hhhhh same me
Same , that’s while I’m here for diet tips
I am not sure if you guys have already reviewed watches for swimming?
Swimming is one of the best workouts! You work every muscle, it’s so tiring! 😅
I have done swimming for 6 months this year i have lost weight. Though I am thin. Earlier I was 65 kg now I am 59 kg.
Nice one! Great to hear you are enjoying swimming 🏊♀️
I injured my shoulder last year and now I can’t swim more than a 150 or so without feeling immense pain
Hi love vids. time for the grind
Thank you, great advice!
Imma part time triathlete who's going through knee issues so planning on supplementing swimming for my lack of running. Any programs yall would recommend?
Hello, could you make a video on how to train when swimming pool is closed (Covid 19) and too cold to swim outside.
Thibault Crucy go for A run
@AirbornTnT only 1 person in the UK has contracted corona virus from being outside, so it's actually healthier to go on a run outside
Oh wow... I’m so stupid. I thought everyone had a swimming pool in their back yard
Pineapple ??? ALL your neighbors have pools?
@@pineapple3555 Also of all the people who have pools, not everyone has a big enough pool for laps.
How do you deal with the hunger after the swim? I swim 6 days a week and I'm always hungry. I don't know how to fix it. I have started hydrating with electrolytes - but that hunger rush is insatiable.
1.6 km swim for 45 min losing 550 calories

@@aavlijaner what stroke do you use? I’ve just started,so just wondering.
I'm really having a hard time doing the typical swimming like pros(arm over arm) Am I working out when I lap swim moving my arms under and kicks vs. Lifting arms or the water
Hi there! Im a dancer but i was thinking about replacing my regular gym workouts with a good swim session, is there a particular style that will focus more on the legs or maybe just less on the shoulders?
You can do a breast stroke and keep your hands just slightly moving infront of you to balance yourself, while focusing all your strength on your leg kick to move forward. you can also swim on your back while keeping your hands in a superman like shap and use your legs only.
@@momosalah7057 thank you! Ill be sure to try it out once gyms open again !
you can buy a swimming breathing tube and focus on kicking excercises. great leg and ab workout, I do it for my ACL rehab to prepare to go back to dance!
I love to swim and i want to lose weight..but there is no pool near my house..my parent also dont let me go to pool often..its just like 4-7 time a year..
I'm swimming to loose weight and get in shape.
which stroke is best for burning calories? Many are saying the butterfly or is front crawl better?
I grew up with pools at my house so I always swam a lot ! My mom always made sure we had access to pools at our house so I just enjoy it so I could never get fat or lazy
I've been forced into swimming because of Plantar Fascia . Swimming a couple of times a week and alternating with strength training and basic good eating although I like to slip into a one meal a day plan when trying to lose a bit of body fat.
Off topic any chance of doing a video on recovering from heal pain ..?
I think I have the same thing after googling plantar fasciitis! Hurts the heel so much and is making me so worried about how heavy I am that it’s affecting my physical health now.
@@tia6752 try physical therapy. I had a really bad case of it and a month of physical training got rid of it
What kind of watch can I use in swimming
I'm overweight by about 4st, started swimming this year for an hour a week. I do 1500m in that time, breast stroke, front crawl and back-stroke none stop. I only burn 345 calories. I don't understand how people say they burn 600-800kcals!? I go relatively fast (so i thought) but yeah, dunno where I'm going wrong.
Excellent
What swimming goals do you have this year? Leave us a comment!
I think I'll be happy if I can swim about 2km
Hopefully sub 40' 2K
I'm hoping to knock a minute off my 400m front crawl
my conservative goal is to go over 150,000 yards for this season and improve my half ironman swim time of 34 minutes from last October which was my first half
Two goals: to improve my breathing while swimming and to swim every other day, especially in summer 😊
I'm definitley not in a healthy weight range, actually looking at bariatric surgery here in the next month or 2 depending on what my doctor says. And being that I'm almost always in pain in way way or another, I've been looking at swimming. Both for weight purposes, as well as trying to build some cardio back in since my new band just booked our first show and I am not sure if i can get through a 30 minute set without dying right now XD
Going to the gym today after work. Nevermind that i've been paying for the membership for 2 months, but still. first step
The first steps are truly the hardest, Ive been there. You can do this! Just remember, its not how intense your training is but that it stays consistent.
Does anyone know how the swimming works for Intermediate fasting (dawn to dusk) with no water taken in and meals during the day regardless? Has anyone tried it?
All I could think of is that underwater view of the girl in the black swimsuit has a MASSIVE crossover in her freestyle
The most effective swimming style for weight loss is the butterfly, but it's hard to do for beginners...
Is there any programs how to swim? Or its just dive in and swim on ur own
Do fitness swimming gloves/ paddles and fins help with weight loss?
U can add them but the thing is when u swim your body uses energy ( callories) to keep u floating which is the major reason why it's good for weight loss like gloves n paddles won't do that much
Is Swimming good after exercise/ cardio/ running ?
i used to be in a swimming club and i wanna retake It so here i am 😶🙏🏻
Been swimming for over a month and just seem not to be losing anything. Sometimes even gained a pound or two. Thinking that’s muscle because I eat clean. I’m so frustrated because it’s not working for me. What do I do?!
Get on a calorie deficit while increasing protein and water intake.
Question pls:I'm not a breakfast person, on the contrary, it makes me tired and I feel nausea, food in general makes me tired and heavy, and hunger makes me energized, what you suggest to eat before the swim in this case
A protein shake ?
I just swim without breakfast at all, and feel more energised than when I eat before.
@nyxvalentine omg, that is just like me! You are the only other person I have found to say it out loud cause of so much judgement. I just exercise fasted
I clicked on Thsi vide and expected it to be a normal pool because I have a above ground pool and I thought I could do the Same thing hahah
I have never lost weight swimming even on the swim team. I get too hungry. I'll have to find that video.
I used to swim 2 miles a day and then I got caught with chlorination. I lost my teeth, my voice and a bit breathy. I know longer can swim in indoor/outdoor pools and even in the sea. Has technology advanced in the last 3 years? I am getting heavier so resorting to a veg diet. Is there a snorkel that has an air filter to clean out the chlorine?
Actually carbs get people to gain weight. Insulin 💁♀️ Cut carbs and you will get in shape in no time 😉
Find a pool that has ozone treated water?
wow first time I’ve heard of that
what do you mean by losing your teeth?
Swim in salt water treated pools. No chlorine at all
I literally just joined a gym today rouse the swimming pool for the first time in like 10 years . I'm actually nervous 🤣
Good luck Joel!
@@gtn oh thank you very much
Im morbidly obese, and as a young man I remember feeling free in the water. Its not until I was told to put a shirt on, which destroyed my relationship with my local pool and water in general, that I stopped going. Now in my adulthood, I want to get back into the water and find the joy i once felt
I used to swim competitively as a child and quit with 15. Did some martial arts afterwards but lockdowns and covid took that fire from me.
I gained 50% of my previous bodyweight due to not moving for 3 years. Finally decided to get into shape.
Decided it'll be swimming. I dunno about maximizing my time in the water. I just try to increase my distance every week consistently.
I just cracked 750m on my first day. Week 2 I'm at 1250m. Week 4 I did 1500m.
I remember being able to swim endlessly as a teen. I want that back. Maybe once 3km is easy I'll time myself.
Thanks for the tips.
Im male swimming for 2months daily ... Eating just normal home food lost 6kgs from 100to 94.. target is 80kgs in a year with out loose skin.. swimming 1hr 400meters almost
Good video
Dont think about swimming as a weight loss activity in isolation, if you incorporate it with weights and cardio you will A) enjoy it more B) Feel the overall benefits swimming does have for you mentally and physically. You would have to swim like Phelps every day for a couple of hours a day and have a really strict diet to achieve just weight loss itself, so best to chill out get to the pool when you can and ENJOY life and whatever exercise you do......
i'm swimming in the ocean
Anyone know how to get over the whole “I don’t want people to see me in a swimsuit” thing? I used to be a competitive swimmer but after moving house to much I quit, I’ve gained a lot of weight since stopping (I’m now 5’7 and almost 90kg) so I’m not HUGE but I’m quite overweight, but the last time I wore a swim costume I was 60kg (even back then I was terrified).
if your super uncomfortable about, I’m about your size right now I’ve also gained a lot of wait because of quarantine, you can buy a rash guard they cover a lot of skin.
I know it is really uncomfortable but this morning I went swimming and was really nervous (I'm 5'7 and 70kg) but I then realised that everyone won't point and stare at you when walk by the poolside, they will be more focused on swimming, rather than looking at random people.
Edit: 67.8kg :)
I’m 154lbs and feel the same. I’m wearing a boyshort swim suit. It has longer legs (just shorter than cycle shorts) so nothings on show. I’ve bought nicer ones for confidence awards :) so the more confident I get then I’ll wear normal cossies
I just came across this but want to reply. I hope you jumped back in the pool. Agreed I’ve noticed people are focused on their own swim activity. I’d say focus on how you will be keeping yourself from getting to the point it’s required physical therapy. I swim for my arthritis and nerve pain. I miss the days I swam for fun and weight loss.
@Essie Stone thanks for the encouragement ☺️ I did start swimming again for a few months but as soon as covid restrictions eased and the pools became busier, my anxiety took over so I haven't been in a while unfortunately.
How many times a week do you recommend?
Is freestyle the best form to use then, going off the footage here? I usually prefer that, or breaststroke. Just curious if one has better results than the other.
2/3 freestyle 1/3 backstroke is probably the best mix, as a former competitive swimmer. Mixing in some breaststroke is fine, but be a little careful, as I messed up my knees by age 15 doing too much breaststroke.
@erikfritz7478 appreciate your advice. Thank you, Erik
Brilliant Video mam
Wow
hehe she said "let's dive in" 😂you guys get it?

Nice work!

Day 1 learning swimming.
Can someone let me know how long does it take to get swimmers body .
I know i am asking too much 😛
3 4 months if you do it 6 times a week
By "swimmer's body" I'm assuming you mean broad shoulders and back with a trim waist. About 1 yr of serious training.
Does it bild muscle?
Thanks Abela Danger!
Shes cool!
NOT TO MENTION! The time swimming works perfectly with how the bodies burns its energy deposits carbs>protein>fat>muscle, this is the natural order, but with low intensity training our bodies choose to use fat as the energy supply! therefore a slow breaststroke for an hour is both better for burning calories and directly targeting overall fat on the body. Another great reason to swim if you can.
I need to loose a few pounds I’m going to start to swim because it’s too hot to go walking outside , I haven’t worked out in a while so I’ll get back in a month to see what happened I’m 5’7 160 pounds oh gosh grrrr my problem is I like to eat sweets oh I’m also 52 years old, and I never been these heavy, but woman my age we tend to weight gain, I always been 130 pounds, I started putting on weight last year, my metabolism is slowing down so I need to get on w the program asap, 😊
Should you eat breakfast before you swim or after you swim?
About 1.5hr before is what I do
I do fasting 18:6 and eat after I swim. If I eat before I’m sluggish but I have heard that if you need to eat before do it a couple hours before like the comment above does.
Only problem is... I don't know how to swim properly. But I'll figure it out 🏊
POV your thinking you will do this tomorrow and it never happens
Stay hydrated. Thirst after a workout can be mistaken for hunger and lead to overeating.
The more you swim the more you love it.
I cant do one hour but i do about 20 mins thats after a good 30 mins gym session though
