Actually, competitive and long distance swimmers have
been found to have an extra thick layer of sub-dermal
fat. Supposedly to protect their innards from that
cold water. Make no mistake, they are otherwise lean,
sometimes exceedingly so. They just look "smooth"
rather than "ripped".

The question is whether someone who is already
over-fat would want to add even a thin layer of
protective fat while attempting to lose weight. Seems
a little counter-productive.
