Swimming Calories Calculator

I've always thought MFP's exercise database values for swimming are woefully inaccurate; it will give you a calorie burn that's about 40-50% inaccurate. I did some research and from the myriad of web calculators I found a formula that I believe provides a better guestimate based on your weight and lap times. I've created a spreadsheet with both metric and imperial options which you can access here:
