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. :)

    Those tables don't apply to the big-boned among us either;) Hey anyone know at what point a muscular body becomes a danger to the heart because of the amount of work it has to do to pump blood?. Not that I am at risk. I A thick skull doesn't necessarily mean thick bones in general Rich....LOL!!:thhbbb: Newmastersswimmer
