Steve, that's an exhausting list on generally healthy habits.

The specific slimness issue may tricky though

Some people like myself find very difficult not to be slim

Some others, even if eating sparingly, find it very difficult to loose weight.

Being a little overweight though does not mean being unhealthy. Also, I take it may be a desirable feature in long distance swimming.

Common sense suggestions like those you listed are good to loose weight in many cases, in the most difficult cases though either extreme will power must be exercised or very specific remedies (diets) adopted.
