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. :)

One reason given that swimming doesn't burn as many calories as running is that it uses arms more than legs.The obvious solution to that is BREASTSTROKE!!!!
No problem Allen, I'll get right on that o.k......Not!! LOL!
Congrats 3degree on losing those inches...I've never heard of a K-cal device though....sounds interesting (although I am skeptical about the accuracy of those things for all the same reasons as I listed about the calorie calculators)....but if it works for you than thats great!
