Swim Team
Ok I'm 13/F . I will be starting a competative swim team tomorrow morning and it will last all summer. I will have practices 1 hour for 3 days a week and a swim meet (competion) every Thursday for 3 hours. My question is, can I expect to lose a few unwanted inches on my stomach, thighs and legs with all this swimming? (Im hoping maybe 2 maybe 3 in on thighs, 1 or 2 on stomach an 1 or 2 on arms) I'll rate!! :) thanx! <3

to be honest, you might loose those inches, and they might stay, but as muscle. so you dont really know what is going to happen there, but atleast you getting exercise and time will tell if your legs and what not will get smaller or have more muscle definition or tone

I'm pretty sure you can lose that over the summer you just have to make sure you are eating healthy food no junk. HOpe it works out.

yeah...as long as you are on a good, healthy diet...because if you still eat junk food and stuff it wont help that much...so just stay on a healthy diet and you should lose your unwanted inches!!...=]

im in swimming too but mwe have much longer practices than you. i have it five days a week...three days for 1 1/2 hours and two for 2 hours. and at swim meets you bearly swim at all so taht doesnt count. you might lose you tummy a little but as i said for just 3 hours a week it depends. if your coach gives you hard sets than yes you will lose more inches but not as many if you practiced for a longer period of time. just work hard and most likely you will get results. also it will definatly give you better thighs and legs. you can tell if it has made a difference by walking and looking to see if you muscules move on the outer side of your legs.

no, if you're doing summer league swimming it won't do anything at all trust me those practices are insanely easy you might keep from getting fat but it most definatly wont help you lose weight

No sweetheart, it takes quite a bit more than that. Try 2 hours every morning of the week, and occasionally 2 more hours in the afternoon. And then try 3 day, 6 hour meets one or two weekends every month, and practice all year round. Then you can call it a "competitive swim team". No, you won't lose anything. nice try though =D

Swimming will make you lose a few unwanted inches and pounds off of your stomach, thighs, and legs.

Yes, definitely! Swimming is one of the BEST sports for weightloss. Doing laps will keep you very lean & in the best shape! Have fun swimming!

you probably will.
swimming works a ton of muscles all over your body so it's always a good way to lose weight and a few unwanted inches. so have hope!

Most likely. If that doesnt work.
Hog tie yourself to your cieling fan and turn it on high. Get people to shoot paintball guns at you while you struggle to get out of the tie. You'll lose a lot of weight from getting out of it.
