I remember being in a masters swim program with some friends after Uni and we would go to training on the Upper West Side at 6am three times a week and I though, I’m going to be in the best shape ever going in each morning and thinking I can’t wait for a stack of pancakes on my way out. Didn’t lose a pound, maybe gained a few...
Ha - Oh, swimming is notorious with the "slightly overweight swim body" type people. You burn the least amount of calories swimming (unless doing sprints) as it's the least amount of resistance. And... because the cooler water is touching more of your body, you have this weird thermal caloric effect thing that happens and makes you hungrier than you should be post swim.

It's an odd one. Thanks for the comment.
