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!)

Perhaps you could swim them with your fists closed, as suggested on the "You Know You're a Swimmer" thread.
(Since I read that, I keep picturing butterfly with closed fists and laughing in the pool while I'm swimming.)
