How to swim if you are overweight?

Start out slow and at your level of fitness. Gradually increase the time to obtain the recommended 60-90 minutes of physical activity/exercise each day. Use the pool equipment (noodles, water float weights and float belts) to do water aerobics. This is where you could add a little resistance training into your routine.
