Swimming is a popular recreational sport that can be used for weight loss and to improve your overall fitness. Swimming uses mostly your upper body but also provides a great low-impact workout for your heart, legs and lungs. Whether you are new to swimming or do it daily, you can make swimming part of your weight-loss program. The key is to swim vigorously enough and long enough to burn the calories necessary to drop pounds.

Start slowly. If you are new to swimming for weight loss, start with 10- to 20-minute sessions for three days a week. Gradually build up to 30- to 45-minute sessions for five to seven days a week. By gradually increasing the time, you prevent injury and over-exertion. Set realistic goals. Consider the amount of weight you want to lose and the time frame you want to lose the weight in.
2Make sure you are swimming and not playing in the water. If you get in the pool, float around, do some handstands and doggy-paddle for a few minutes you are not likely to lose any weight. Perform freestyle, breaststroke, backstroke and other preferred strokes for a consistent period of time.
3Use variety when swimming to lose more weight. According to shapefit.com, slower swimming can be done over 45-minute sessions and will burn body fat, while high-intensity, fast swimming for 20 to 30 minutes will burn lots of calories and boost your metabolism.
