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!)

No, I understand the concept of swimming butterfly with the entire body, and I've even read some of Emmett's articles on the subject (and learned from them). That's not why I was laughing.
I was laughing because of all the people in my pool who can't stay in their own lanes or on their sides of the lanes and keep kicking and hitting other swimmers, or just generally getting in the way at unexpected moments. I picture what a shock it would be for some of these folks to encounter the fists instead of just whacking fingers over the lane ropes.
Emmett would probably want to kick me out of the pool, so I wouldn't actually try to punch anybody. But it's still funny.:D
