    Sorry to contradict but I'm pretty sure running has a higher value in the METs tables than swimming.
    MFP typically gives me around 600cal for a 1hr/10k run and 425 for 1hr lap swimming. And I swim fairly well, front crawl plus some drills in a coached session would be maybe 2km in 1hr or a solid swim in my own I'd do 3km in 1hr (120lengths of a standard UK 25m pool).

    I've used my heart rate monitor to compare to the MFP values and they seem roughly right. My HRM is analogue so works in water.

    Hey! I couldn't find that group. I've been here two years but I guess I'm not very message boards savy. Can you provide the link? Thanks! :)
