I looked up the average calories burned for a 155 lb person swimming laps for one hour and it was pretty impressive...
freestyle (vigorous) 704
freestyle (light/moderate) 563
butterfly 774
backstroke 563
breaststroke 704
What have I learned? I need to get swimming again and blast some serious calories. Not only is swimming a great calorie burn, but it's low impact and anyone can do it. If you've been struggling with getting bored at the gym and doing the same things head to the pool.freestyle (light/moderate) 563
butterfly 774
backstroke 563
breaststroke 704
(And for those of you who say I can't swim very well...just grab a kick board and do that for 30 minutes. I guarantee you'll be feeling it by the time you're done!)
