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!)

Hey Matt,
Just for kicks, today I tried a couple of laps butterfly with my fists closed. Even though I mentally understand how butterfly is supposed to be swum, I figured my stroke was poor enough that it would be difficult, but I was surprised that it wasn't. At first breathing wasn't as easy as usual, but I quickly figured out how to adjust.
When I finished, however, I noticed that a few people were staring at me. Maybe they thought what I was doing looked strange. Maybe they were just wondering why I was grinning.
It's still funny.
:p
P.S. I didn't punch anyone.
