How Many Calories Does Swimming Burn Per Hour
The calories burned swimming is dependent on your weight and intensity. For every pound of body weight swimming burns about 3 calories per mile. For example, at 150lbs swimming pretty hard, a mile in 30 minutes, you will torch about 900 calories per hour. But that is pretty tough to go that hard and that long. Most people swim at a more moderate pace.
