As a note, I'm a swimmer (specialty: breaststroker) so it's actually pretty average for me to be "overweight" since we're normally short and strong. At least, compared to the freakishly tall freestyle peeps. Also I have no idea what my body fat is, but it's probably decently low.

Ha, no shit. I'm skinny as fuck, so I was better at freestyle and backstroke (when I didn't bash my head into the wall doing flipturns during the stroke). I'm 6 Ft, so it works for me. Too bad my fucking team was shitty in terms of support and knowing how to train with your team. A lot of assholes tbh.

Lol, According to this I'm borderline obese. @27.8 BMI

I have 24% body fat, but at 300 pounds that's not terrible. I was an athlete in high school and for a little while in college, so I have a pretty dense build from lifting weights and doing tons of cardio. I can still run a 9 minute mile, which is pretty damn good for a guy who weighs three bills.

I'm trying to lose weight right now, but the college life makes it harder than you would think. I can usually float between 280 and 320 at any time though depending on how active/inactive I'm being. I've gone from 280 to 320 in about three weeks before and then floated back down in the same amount of time.

Damn. I keep bouncing between 130 and 140. My muscles get dense (which is good), but my metabolism is too fast for any sort of fat to accumulate. I could be an athlete or runner (or swimmer again) if I ever wanted to. I just don't give enough fucks to actually do it, mainly because I'd rather be doing other things.

Don't go back to swimming you'll neveeerr escaaaaaaaape...

Do what I did: get a condition where your body rejects the water because it's too cold even at the standard temperature. Or start hating your teammates. Really good way to end swim team tbh. Makes you look like a better person too if they really are assholes.

Swimming is really good for your health though. I recommend at least making it a part of an exercise regiment if you make one, but competitive swimming can cause issues if your not careful or have bad support on your team.

21.4 BMI (6' 4", 176lbs)
96bpm at rest

I don't know what these numbers mean, except that I measured my height and weight, and did a qick heart rate check on myself. I really don't give a fuck since I know I'm health for the most part.

edit: I haven't done anything remotely like excersise for like, two or three years lul.

Nah my team is supportive, at least in high school so far. I'll have to be careful in college I suppose. I just like to joke around like most swimmers about how we hate our sport.

Yeah, you're lucky. I had some friends, but I hated our group as a "team." Our coaches also didn't try taking care of those on the lower tier like myself because of some sort of disability, mine be raynaud's syndrome (basically I have nothing to keep me warm in the water, but I believe there is more psychology than physiology involved in my case). They also didn't tell us to sip warm water throughout practice, but just drink cold water (mistake), and we only stretched for like 15 minutes.
