I went swimming with the kids today, mostly just playing around, doing a few laps here and there but nothing to vigiouresly.

Would you count that as exercise?

    I go swimming with my kiddos almost every day. I do not count it as exercise on this site. I write it down in my own exercise journal as swimming and how long I swam but I don't count the calories. Cindy :heart:

    No. It's still burning calories and much better than being sedentary, but it would be difficult to estimate the number of calories burned and you might overeat.
