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!)

You're right - a lot of elite distance freestylers do train all strokes. I was referring to the ones that swim predominantly freestyle - of which there are quite a few.
My point was that since ALL swimmers use fat for bouyancy, separating out just freestylers and saying they are fat because they swim freestyle doesn't make sense.
