Hi Laurent, To calculate your calories burned swimming, you'll need to consider what type of stroke(s) you performed. While swimming, your body burns 3.5 METs (223 calories per hour) treading water at a moderate effort; 8.3 METs (528 calories per hour) for a medium-speed, vigorous effort crawl; and 13.8 METs (878 calories per hour) for butterfly stroke. (These estimates are for a 140-pound adult.)
