Swimming burns this many calories?!

I swim 1 hour 6 days a week, 2 km at least every day.
Love it, it clears my head and is stress reliefing.
I just think I am not eating enough to loose weight because I am stuck since weeks.

I used to competitive swim, and that count looks about right to me.

your body temperature is regulated by the water around you so you don't sweat.

Actually, you do sweat a lot, you just don't realize how much because you're in water. It's one of the main reasons that indoor pools have air quality issues on big meet weekends, it's not because their "big as$ fans" aren't working, or the vapors from the kicking, or too much chlorine or bromine in the pool, or all the bodies, it's from poorly managing the ph balance of the pool when you add all the sweat from the multitudes of swimmers in and out of the water racing and sweating in the pool all weekend long.

HRM + water sounds like a bad idea. Unless there is one that is waterproof?

haha i was thinking that

most are water proof, otherwise they would corrode with sweat. Mine is waterproof to 25 or 50 ft (I can't remember which).
