Swimming question

[Nicki xWx]

I swam breaststroke this morning for 55 minutes, according to 'my fitness pal,' that 55 minutes of swimming burnt 731 calories. Is this right? I was shocked to see that amount of calories burnt just by swimming. Where as I have to really bust my butt in the gym for an hour just to burn 500. Can anyone help me with this please? Xx

That looks pretty accurate according to this list of calories burned duing exercise

I've been doing swimming and there's a poster at my pool that says 30 mins of swimming can burn upto 350 cals so would say yes defiantly! X

If you were constantly swimming for that full 55 minutes at a decent pace then yup I would say so
