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. :)
....yada... yada... yada.....and don't forget athletes NEED carbs and then treat yourself every once in awhile, too ... (or in my case daily)

Not to brag (or perhaps to) I have fantastic genetics! My mom eats whatever she wants (always has) and is rail thin. My dad eats everything in sight (usually in mass quantities while forgettting to breathe) and is pretty thin, too ...
I also eat a lot because I work out ...
