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!)

A lot of elite distance freesylers also have done the 400 Im. Shirley Babashoff-won the 400 IM at olympic Trials in 1976. Janet Evans won the 400 and 800 meter freestyles and the 400 IM at the 1988 olympics. Some elite distance freestylers are good at other strokes-Mike Bruner the winner of the 200 meter butterfly was also a 1500 freestyler and Katlin Sandeno at this last olympics swam 200 mter butterfly and 800 freestyle and 400 IM. So, their are many distance freestylers that do some yardage in other strokes as well in their practice..
