Not sure about the number of calories being burned, but you will lose fat fast if your swimming consistently and put some effort into it. Swimming really works on all of the muscles, especially the smaller ones so they will build. This might be why you feel better, perform better, etc. Of course it also helps with the main muscles too. your gonna be alot more hungry and eating more if your swimming too, really works up an apetitite :P You'll also strengthen up your lungs and oxygen holding abilities alot if you do special drills. If ya got any questions bout things like technique, drills, etc dont be a stranger and PM me.
