Swimming as a calorie burner?

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. :)

    I'm just waiting to see George on Oprah pitching his new runaway diet bestseller "Eat Bad Fish in Egypt". The whole subject is rife with fallacies, fads and foolishness. I get a great kick when I sometimes stumble across a panel of diet gurus savaging each other on television. There is a lot of sound biochemical science out there, but it seems a lot of general p. want the biggest effort to be buying the magic books that will melt pounds off (we'll worry about keeping them off in the sequel) {embittered old bookseller bites hand that used to feed him}. Yes, the guy thrashing down the pool with lousy technique is burning more calories than you, but be cannot keep up the activity. If he were to, his arms would fall off.
