Does swimming burn as many calories as other sports? Unless you're putting in some real yardage, it doesn't seem like it does to me. I was chatting with some tri teammates awhile ago. They think they're slimmer when they're doing multiple sports and not just swimming. Me too, I think. Anyone else have thoughts on this? I guess I should be lifting weights ... Thanks in advance. :)

You can get into shape onf 1500 yards 3 x a week.
You have to do it hard and intense though. Eating right will accentuate this.
If you are going to try it I suggest working out before you eat..that way your meal after the swim satisfies the hunger.
If you eat beofre the swim, you 'll burn it off and then be hungry again, which leads you into "Little Debbie Land" etc.
