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. :)
My 2 cents- I think it is the interval work that helps me lose weight or at least maintain my weight. If I just swim easy for a few weeks, I will gain a few pounds. And this has become more of a problem since menopause. :(
