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. :)

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 ...
I use to be skinny too when I was younger (remember the JimCroceMan Pics...LOL!!).....Maybe you will be luckier than me and be able to stay skinny forever and still eat anything you want (ALA the good genetics and such).....but if you do then I will have to hate you then LOL!
