No Flashy . swimming will help tone muscles, lose a few calories yes, but the only way to lose weight is not to overeat more than your body needs, knock off sugars ... e.g. biscuits, cakes, peanuts, chips, crisps, bread etc. Easy really.

I see loads of people at my gym in the pool overweight (well.. they are at least trying), but no weight loss that I can see as I spy them in the restaurant later at lunch tucking into pasta dishes and chips !
