Daily Calories??

Hey, I'm starting a calorie restricted diet (I really have to lose some weight); what is the general calorie range for swimmers? I realise that this depends a lot on how much one swims (I only do like 1500-2800 yds, four-five x/wk). Any suggestions?

  • Caloriesperhour.com bases the swimming calories on how fast you swim a 50, so somewhat useful. I agree with Old FLyer, it is really more about diet, exercise is the bonus. I have lost 35 pounds watching what I eat. It is not easy, and it does not stay off easy. You have to eat what would be correctly most of the time.
