  • The problem with those calculators is that their definition of vigorous lap swimming is not ours. 30 min.continuous swimming at 2:30/100 will burn much fewer calories than 10X100 on the 1:30 and that is taking only 15 min.10X100 on the 2:00 will still burn more calories in 20 min than their lap swimmer in 30.
