I know little about swimming, but I'll just add that diet is going to be huge for you. Maybe consider some bodyweight stuff too like pushups and squats (if your knee can take it, sounds like it can't maybe) and such.

Unless the pool is 25 yards I wouldnt bother. Too much time spent doing turns and pushing off the wall.
I would just tread water. You can work your ass off with treading water drills between kick only with hands out of the water, hands/skulling drills, and even using a weight belt or a yoke. Too easy? Hop on the deck and do some push ups and sit ups every 5 minutes or so. Have swam competitively most of my younger life through highschool and into college. There was a time i was getting fatter and there was no way in hell the pool in my back yard would allow for "swimming". But treading water in the back yard pool worked just fine. Half hour a day of that helped in cutting weight a good bit relatively quickly. |

OP, swimming can be a great exercise. As already stated, the real weight loss occurs in the kitchen. You can burn a bunch of calories in the water, but you come out hungry and ought to be set up for success rather than ripping open a bag of chips. Myfitnesspal is always recommended. It is a great tool. I recommend adjusting the macros to be heavier on protein and lower on carbs. There are many studies showing people who eat more protein while losing weight retain/gain more lean body mass than those who don't. The more muscle you have left when you get your weight down the better. Ask questions and good luck! |

Thanks for all the advice. I went out and down loaded the app that was talked about. It helped with picking out dinner tonight. I will be back in the pool on monday. The weekends are to busy but I think I will go for a good walk.

Swimming is what I did for most of my knee rehabs. I was back on the field in 1/2 the time compared to others.
Go to the shallow end and run back and forth. If you've got a pool with a deep end, throw something heavy in and run it into the shallows. This will require cardiovascular endurance and lung endurance which who can't benefit from both of those? Flutter kicks like you've been doing. Float on your back and move to the edge of the wall and put your legs up on the deck. Now start doing sit ups under water. The resistance is pretty incredible. And of course laps and laps. Get one of those waterproof ipods with waterproof ear buds. Will make something that's mind numbing at least somewhat bearable. |

Free style and backstroke. If you don't know how, it might be worth it to take a lesson from the local Y.
Beyond that, swimming is one of the highest burning cal workouts. But you need to watch what you eat as well. |

Sorry for the late response. I tore everything in both knees except the ACL. How that happened, I have zero clue. I tore 70% of the cartilage in both knees leaving me with 30ish. The doctor put pin holes in some bone hoping the bleeding would somehow turn to cartridge. (some science shit I didn't understand.) I currently have a torn meniscus and loose lcl in my right knee on top of the daily creaks, moans, and groans and my knee sounds like rice crispy treats or velcro being ripped apart when they bend. I can feel every weather front come in and it's really bad in the winter. I do squats but I'll never get up to what I was pre injury. 250lbs sets of 10 is all I want to do and as heavy as I want to go. The stress at the bottom most part of the squat kills me and I will lock up and have to ditch the weights. I've started biking with my wife for cardio so the pounding is minimal so I can wait it out until knee replacements. |

I was actually swimming in a full sized pool before I could walk and enjoy being in the water regardless of how I can be in it. One day I want to have either a pool with a tether system or a endless lap pool. Both will require alot of money either way. |

Well I have been at it about three times a week and I am using the myfitnesspal app. I am down about five pounds and I am feeling stronger. This may work.

And fixes medical issues that simple calorie cutting can make worse. |
