"mate good log just wondering am a swimmer as well I find it helps with my doms however my legs seem to get pumped up. Any tip on improving my swimming performance ?stamina and weight loss ?"

Hey Neily, all I can say is that I simply wanted to become half-decent at the front crawl, and I watched loads of training videos from Youtube! Some were helpful, some not. I assumed my stamina would be good from all the cycling I do, but it simply doesn't match up.

To increase stamina at swimming, you simply need to swim more, but really need to work on the particular technique first - once you get this more efficient, you'll waste less energy. You can swim at a slow-ish pace to avoid burning out quickly, but once you get the confidence, you can increase the speed and this naturally works the stamina; but it must be noted that eating correctly before a swim is very important, I need to take on a lot of energy to do 60-90 mins in the pool, and give it at least 90-120 minutes before the session. Pasta / rice & protein meals, followed by a banana, and ensuring protein & carbs are taken immediately after the session.

For me, the hardest part of learning front crawl is the breathing; I must have swallowed half the pool water within the first 6 weeks of trying to get this right. Arm-eye-mouth co-ordination is important, and is difficult to find real tuition from a video, so self-learning and perseverence is the best way! There are so many parts of swimming the crawl that make up the enitire movement, you can't concentrate on them all at once - not while you're simply trying to float and stay alive anyway, so take it bit by bit each week and have patience with it.

Once you get to a fast pace of swimming, you'll really start to enjoy the challenge of going further or faster, it's what is keeping me going anyway.
As for diet, just stick to what you are doing, and make sure you have somehting energy-wise in the system for a swim - you are making excellent progress as it is.
