All I'm doing right now is going in the pool, swimming at just below "burning muscles of pain" for an hour (crossing that threshold periodically), then showering off.

Just crawling as yet: planning on learning some other swims. Should be able to remember how to breast stroke. I doubt I have the physical shape to do a freestyle stroke yet.

I do push myself every few dozen laps with a hard length, to the point that I'm going half as fast in the next length. No idea if this is good for me or not. =)

Strangely, I'm not getting all that hungry from it.

I am thinking of joining a gym and building some extra muscle mass. I figure if I do that 2/3 times a week, and swimming the other 4/5 times, it will probably result in losing fat faster than just swimming.

How good is 2 km every hour? (that's 80 olympic-pool widths or 40 lengths).
