How do I record swimming?

Well, I've been swimming laps at the pool lately and I would record how many minutes I've done for each stroke on MFP.
e.g. 20 mins freestyle, 20 mins breaststroke, etc.

However I've noticed it's not really registering how far I've swum? Like I would be burning a different amount of calories if I swum 2km in an hour in comparison to 1km?

How do I go around this to try and get the most accurate number of calories burned? Thanks to anyone in advance.

    I typically record the minutes as 'Swimming laps, freestyle, light/moderate effort' that pretty much sums up what I do.

    I recorded my freestyle as that. Just was hoping that there would be a more accurate way to record it. Thanks anyway. :)
