Increasing my weekly yardage seems to have increased my hunger. How can I determine the calories really expended during swims of various lengths or intensities?
And when the office hits the all-you-can-eat lunch buffet, how many laps equate to that second or third serving? (Not giving up the food can justify extra time in the pool!)

"Freestlyers tend to store fat in their mid-section."
- seems like quite a sweeping statement. I'd want to know that you'd seen this in thousands of swimmers before citing it as some sort of norm.
Don't know what your gym pools are like but in the UK, most aren't longer than around 18 metres, so most 'semi-serious' swimmers stick to pools that are at least 25 metres long - otherwise they'd just get dizzy!
Emmett's earlier, eloquent postings sum up what it's all about.
