I was swimming breaststroke 60 minutes, did stop fro a minute or 2 break, otherwise moderate pace. All indications are taht I burned 800-850 calories according to different sources. Does yhis sound correct?

How old are you?
How tall are you?
How much do you weigh?
What do you consider a moderate pace? (e.g. how many laps did you get in during that time?)
All of these are vital factors in calculating amount of calories burned for an individual.0 -
.I entered all of that data when I looked at charts. I did not count laps The pace was medium, I do not need an exact measure just an estimate. 5'9 180lbs0

the breast stroke is a pretty easy stroke, but honestly, i find it a little hard to believe that you swam for almost a whole hour without stopping for more than two minutes.
that being said, yes, if you did go for 60 minutes continuously, that sounds like a pretty accurate calorie burn.0 -
It sounds a little on the high side for swimming to be honest. I swam 50 minutes non stop today front crawl and burned 335 cals. The reading on my garmin swim watch was 20 calories less so I went with that.0
