I was just browsing through different excercises and I noticed that leisurely swimming for just an hour burns almost 1000 calories! I'm in the pool all the time in the summer, and on the weekend we pretty much live poolside :D

    We've been swimming at our gym (indoor pool) to augment our weight and running routines. Its really a great workout and you burn soooo many calories doing it. I've been working up to swim a half mile (with the goal to get to a full) and burn between 500-600 calories. And its low impact, so your joints don't hurt, but your muscles might (in the good way).
