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. :)

    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!!!! Allen you and I know which stroke specialist swimmers pack more muscle per square inch... :woot:
